Lerato Pretorius, Director of Lavo Wines, has long carried the desire to create something that speaks of who she is as a person, and one of those concepts is Lavo Wines.
She combined her love for wine with the desire to create generational wealth. Her goal was not only to create a product that would bring joy to those who purchase the wine but also to create opportunities for others to establish themselves and, in turn, create opportunities for others.
The name Lavo Wines originates from the name Lerato, which is a South African name that translates to LOVE.
“The thread that binds the world together is love,” she said. Lavo Wines was created with the foresight of connecting people from different backgrounds with different ideas to share congenial association over a glass of wine.
“Our commitment to fuse excellence with satisfaction is unquestionable as we are driven by a deep sense of passion and love," Pretorious said. Their wines are created from love, to be enjoyed with love.
The company provides high-quality products, services and an extraordinary experience to their clients. “We supply private and public functions by providing mobile bar services, and we have recently ventured into becoming private wine buyers for high-end clientele," Pretorious said.
