We started Rootside in 2015 as a small Ginger Beer company because we wanted to drink a tasty ginger beer made with real ginger juice. Simple as that. That idea has cascaded into a cocktail fueled love affair with all things botanical and fresh. Taste is king at Rootside. In 2019, we also started the Esquimalt Wine Company- focused on making delicious Apéritifs, like Vermouth.
