Meet the winemaker:
Stacey Lightfoot
An alumna of Stockton College with a B.S. in environmental studies and a minor in Chemistry, Stacey embarked on her career in water testing labs before joining Williamsburg Winery just before the 2006 harvest season. With her future husband, they vacationed often to Colonial Williamsburg and would visit the winery several times. One day, while visiting a small winery in Minitola, NJ, they asked for a tour only to be hosted by the winemaker, who learned of Stacey’s vocation and practically offered her a job. When they decided to make Williamsburg our forever home, Stacey applied for a job at the Williamsburg Winery right before the 2006 harvest season began, thinking it would be a fun place to work. The team was quick to hire her! With an impressive 17-year tenure, Stacey extends her gratitude for the invaluable partnership, friendship, and mentorship she has received. She eagerly anticipates continuing the legacy by creating exquisite wines for the enjoyment of all.
