Mira Mural Countdown: Victor Lafayette

Day 2: Mira Winery is proud to feature Victor “Goat” Lafayette on our mural “Renoir Redux: Exceptional Pairings.”

In the 14 days leading up to the July 1st unveiling of “Renoir Redux: Exceptional Pairings” – a building sized mural on Queen Street in Charleston, South Carolina – and the the groundbreaking of the Napa Valley Education Center and Tasting Room, Mira is profiling each of the 14 faces who have impacted the Charleston food scene that are portrayed in the mural.

As a Sol Legare native, Victor Lafayette grew up in a home next door to Bowen’s Island. Growing up on the water, he spent his early days fishing, crabbing and oystering. At the age of nine, he began selling his catch to May Bowen, the owner of the Bowen’s Island Restaurant. Victor spent time pursuing his career in shrimping, but eventually returned and rejoined the Bowen’s as the renowned restaurant’s Oyster Man.
