Lloyd W. Davis, President - Lloyd W. Davis, President and co-owner of Viansa Winery & Marketplace, grew up in Manhattan, in a family that regularly enjoyed wine with meals. While attending Adelphi University, Lloyd's passion for fine wine grew. After graduating with a degree in finance, Lloyd entered the New York financial world where he provided capital to companies to support growth and acquisitions. He eventually became a Partner and Chief Credit Officer at Laurus/Valens Master Fund, a $2 Billion Hedge Fund. Throughout the years, his passion for wine continued to grow. He attended many wine seminars, classes and dinners to expand his knowledge and appreciation of wine and food.
While at Laurus/Valens, he made an investment in Viansa. When the opportunity arose to take control, Lloyd jumped at the chance. "Running Viansa is a dream come true," Lloyd says. He has spent the last several years overseeing all operations at Viansa, and in the process he has pruned grapevines, driven tractors, developed his “Signature Series” wines, poured wine for guests in the tasting room and even accompanied Viansa Tuscan members on a Mediterranean cruise to Italy. He is a hands-on President that can be found in the Tasting Room most days and weekends. He especially enjoys sharing Viansa's wines, foods and Tuscan charm with visitors from around the world. Lloyd is committed to maintaining Viansa’s Italian heritage, offering a broad selection of world-class wines, and focusing on exceptional customer service and treating every guest as family and sharing great wine and food with them!
