Laurence Donald, Owner &

Winemaker, Parum Leo Winery

SPOTLIGHT

Laurence Donald began his career with a degree in Business Administration and had a few roles in finance and sales but wanted something more. A friend pointed out that he had grown up in wine country, had talked enthusiastically about his winemaking endeavors with his dad, and was clearly excited about wine, that perhaps he should consider working in the wine industry. Laurence went on to work harvests in Australia and New Zealand, spent time working with Russian River wineries like Gary Farrell, took wine marketing classes at Sonoma State, and then came across a winery for sale. Today he owns the property formerly known as Kastania and calls his winery Parum Leo. Here’s his story.
