Job Description:

Purple Pachyderm is a small premium Pinot Noir producer aiming at providing a welcoming and approachable atmosphere for new wine drinkers and connoisseurs alike. Our venue is akin to an intimate old western style tasting parlor for people to come by and relax with a glass of great Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir or French Champagne. Our winemaker, Ross Cobb, focuses on complex Burgundian style Pinot Noir, and has a reputation for making some of the best Pinot Noir in Sonoma County year after year. Our location is near Forestville on the scenic Gravenstein Highway 116 North.

Longterm full-time and part-time positions available, we are looking for both, preferably someone with a flexible schedule willing to work weekends and some holidays. We hope to find some suitable candidates by June, starting with a couple days a week and transitioning into full time within a month as the schedule opens up for Summer.

What We Offer:
We are a hospitable team, full of teachers, musicians, and wine professionals alike. We are all down to earth team players with respect for our coworkers, many of us have been with the company for a number of years.

- Hourly rate starting at $22 + tips and commissions
