LAURA LAING
MOM, WIFE, CANADIAN, SHOWER SINGER, AND HEAD HONCHO
LAURA’S LOVE OF WINE IS ROOTED IN GOOD TIMES, GREAT FRIENDS, AND SHARED MEMORIES.
“I love wine because it’s a vessel that connects people through great conversation and good times! I love that wine allows us to host, entertain, and share experiences with so many great people from all over the world.”
As Hazelfern’s General Manager, Laura is the driving force behind the experience and heart of Hazelfern. From co-winemaking to running the finances, planning the events, and hosting guests in the Hazelfern wine barn, Laura truly wears every hat there is.
“Hazelfern is an experience. It’s a culmination of what our journey has been all about. We’ve worked hard to give our family the chance to experience true farm-to-table life, and at the same time, put that passion into our winemaking.”
While entertaining and wine are Laura’s passion, she can’t wait to hear your story and create new friends here on the farm.
“I think Hazelfern is a pretty magical place, and I’m focused on delivering a memorable experience for everyone that stops by to share a glass of wine with us. I want people to remember the stories that were shared with our wines, and I want the Hazelfern experience to be friendly and approachable. I love getting to meet new people over a great glass of wine!"
