Job Description

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.
