Lynsey Hayes
Summary
Hello, My name is Lynsey and I am a vine and wine loving Canadian relocating to Italy! I have education and extensive experience as a vineyard manager, and I LOVE to work in the vineyard with the challenges every new growing season brings. I also have a unique adaptability to work in the vineyard and the tasting room! My WSET level 3 certification combined with my knowledge of the vineyard makes me an excellent host and tour guide, as I can easily teach people about the work in vineyard that leads to the beautiful wines in their glass. I am seeking a full-time role as a vineyard worker, tasting room host, tour guide, or all of those roles combined.
