As a Sommelier, you will oversee all aspects of the wine service in the restaurant and contribute to the development of the wine list for the resort.

This will include serving wine within the restaurant and bar service, managing stock levels, and helping develop our teams to be able to recommend and sell wines to customers to complement their tastes and pair with their menu choices.

What you'll need?

Previous experience within the hospitality sector or specifically in a role working with wines. Ideally, this would be within a Sommelier or supplier background.

Exceptional customer service skills, with a genuine passion for sharing your knowledge to enhance guest dining experience.

A WSET level 3 or 4 diploma or equivalent Sommelier qualification is preferred but not essential as we can provide this training as you become settled in your role.
