Exclusive Women In Wine Trail: From Hustle to Harvest

Join Virginia Women in Wine for an inspiring evening with Janel Laravie, a trailblazer who turned bold ideas into thriving businesses. Originally from West Virginia, Janel built a successful career in digital advertising before taking a leap of faith in 2009 to launch Chacka Marketing, a nationally recognized agency and three-time INC 5000 honoree. But her entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop there.

In 2021, Janel and her husband purchased Wolf Gap Vineyard in Edinburg, VA, bringing her vision and business acumen to Virginia’s wine industry. In just three years, they quadrupled production and earned the title of #1 Winery Tour by Newsweek Magazine. Today, Janel balances life as a Mom, Wine Producer, and CEO, proving that passion and strategy can transform industries.

Join us as Janel shares her remarkable journey, her 4 favorite wines, the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship and motherhood, and how she’s making an impact in Virginia wine. Whether you’re a business owner, wine enthusiast, or someone chasing a dream, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
