Job Description

We work with native yeast, sort and punch down by hand using many traditional techniques (we love stems). We use traditional low intervention techniques but would not describe ourselves as natural even though many folks at our level of intervention do. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on cellar experience with a great team in a positive work environment. You will assist with many aspects of wine production in a small team completing an array of critical harvest tasks from harvest prep, fruit processing, cleaning, pressing, barreling down, etc.
