Amy LaBelle | Vision to Venture – Vino, Vineyard & Venue The Mike Drop

Amy LaBelle is the founder and winemaker at LaBelle Winery. Her ultimate vision is to give back to the community through charitable giving in ways that are fulfilling, impactful and meaningful, and to grow her business exponentially so that she can contribute more. Amy lives in Amherst NH with her husband and co-owner of LaBelle Winery, Cesar Arboleda, and their two sons, Jackson Alejandro Arboleda and Lucas Cesar Arboleda.



In this episode Mike & Amy sit down and talk about Amy’s venture from being an attorney in Boston 15 years ago to entrepreneurship as a winemaker and starting her very own winery in New Hampshire. This endeavor was sparked by Amy’s life-changing trip to Nova Scotia which brought back a new found love of wine & winemaking. Years later, Amy now owns and operates six businesses and two event centers that are true wine & dine destinations. Listen to her story of determination and forward thinking!
