We are a small, women-owned wine company producing Rhône varietals along the California Central Coast, with a tasting room in the heart of Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. We are a tight-knit team that genuinely loves what we do, from the wines we make to the memories we create for our guests.

Our tasting room is anything but ordinary. We host live music, workshops, community events and a rotating cast of makers and creatives on our patio. If you thrive in a dynamic, people-first environment and have a real passion for wine and hospitality, this might be exactly where you belong.

You can host a room on your own and you are good at it
You are a natural with people and know how to read a guest
You take ownership of the guest experience without being asked
You hustle when it is busy and show initiative when it is slow

WSET certification or sommelier training is a plus

Day to Day:

Lead guests through tasting flights and represent our wines with confidence and accuracy
Keep the tasting room clean, organized and guest-ready at all times
Handle POS transactions, merchandise and daily open and close procedures
Support private tastings, live music events and special events as needed

What We Offer:

$18–$20 per hour depending on experience
