Part-Time Winery Associate

Job Description:

Paloma Vineyard is a small, family-owned winery on Spring Mountain dedicated to producing exceptional wines and creating memorable experiences for our guests. We are looking for a motivated, adaptable individual to join our team for the summer working 2-4 days per week.

This is not a traditional tasting room position. While much of your time will be spent hosting guests alongside Laura and Sheldon, helping create warm and engaging tasting experiences, this role also provides exposure to many aspects of winery operations. As a small team, everyone pitches in where needed. One day may involve pouring wine and sharing the story of Paloma with guests, while another may include preparing wine shipments, assisting with vineyard projects, helping in the cellar, or supporting special events.

Responsibilities
- Welcome and host guests in the tasting room
- Conduct wine tastings and share the story of Paloma Vineyard
- Assist with wine sales and customer service
- Prepare and pack wine shipments
- Support winery events and hospitality experiences
- Assist with vineyard and cellar projects as needed
- Help maintain a clean, organized, and professional work environment
- Contribute wherever help is needed across winery operations

Qualifications
- Positive attitude and strong work ethic
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Self-motivated and able to work independently
- Willingness to learn and take on new challenges
- Adaptable and comfortable wearing many hats
- Reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented
- Ability to provide exceptional hospitality and customer service

Preferred Qualifications
- Previous tasting room, hospitality, or customer service experience
- Experience in the wine industry, vineyard, winery, or cellar environments
- Familiarity with wine and a desire to continue learning

Physical Requirements
- Ability to stand for extended periods
- Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds
- Comfortable working both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions

What We're Looking For
Above all, we are looking for someone who is eager to learn, takes initiative, and enjoys being part of a small team. Technical wine knowledge can be taught. Curiosity, reliability, and a willingness to jump in wherever needed are what make someone successful at Paloma.

If you are excited about wine, hospitality, and gaining hands-on experience across all facets of a small winery, we'd love to hear from you.
