Welcome to Root River Unwined Wine Bar/Restaurant
While we are still seeking kitchen staff, we are anxious to reopen with an expanded focus on our charcuterie boards & pairing
About Us
Our Vision
Lanesboro is such a great place to escape from the everyday pressures of the world and unwind. We want to pay homage to the area and create the exact same feel in our wine bar and restaurant, Root River Unwined.
Our Goal
Our goal is to feature as many products from local farmers, brewers and vintners as possible, coupled with several of our favorite wines from the rest of the world. In a relaxed atmosphere, with lots of outdoor seating, come try locally created shareable plates in our new wine bar. And, we want to make kids feel special with their own selection of small plates and specialty drinks.
Our Mission
To make a difference wherever we go!
