Perched atop the Chehalem Mountains AVA, we’re grounded in craftsmanship, care for the land, and genuine connection. We’re here to build more than a wine brand—we’re creating a legacy of connection and craft.

• You effortlessly build rapport and take joy in turning first-time guests into lifelong fans.

What You’ll Do

• Welcome guests with genuine warmth and professionalism
• Lead memorable tasting experiences that reflect our values, wines, and story
• Build lasting relationships that drive wine sales and wine club growth
• Work closely with the team to surpass sales goals and elevate guest experiences.
• Maintain the beauty and functionality of the tasting room
• Support wine club events, private experiences, and occasional offsite events
• Assist with day-to-day operational needs like restocking, fulfillment, and set-up

What We Offer

We know that exceptional hospitality professionals bring tremendous value—and we show our appreciation through competitive compensation, meaningful perks, and real opportunities for growth.

• Competitive hourly pay ranging from $18–$20/hr DOE
• Plus Tips, wine sales commissions, and club sign-up incentives for total compensation of $30 - $32 per hour or more. The more you sell, the more you make.
• Wine allocation and generous employee pricing
• Paid holidays and PTO (for full-time team members)
• Opportunities for advancement, mentorship, and industry growth
• A values-driven culture that celebrates individuality, collaboration, and integrity

What You Bring

• Valid OLCC Server Permit
