**Independent Wine Consultant - Commission Only**

Turn your love of wine into a career worth traveling for. Vinera Wines is looking for passionate, people-driven Wine Consultants to join our team in California - and eventually, at the source: the vineyards of Europe.

The opportunity no one else offers: take your clients to Europe. At Vinera, our top consultants don't just sell wine - they lead curated wine and food experiences at the wineries where our wines are made. You bring your clients. You travel together. You become the person who gave them the trip of a lifetime. That relationship does not churn.

About the role

This is not a side hustle. It is a genuine path for someone who wants to build a real business in the wine industry - with full flexibility, premium products to stand behind, and one of the most attractive commission structures in the market. As a Vinera Wine Consultant, you will host in-home wine tastings, connect with wine lovers at private events, and build lasting client relationships that generate recurring income. You work independently, set your own schedule, and grow at your own pace. And when the time is right, you take your best clients to Europe - visit the wineries and meet the winemakers.

Who thrives here

Our most successful Wine Consultants tend to share a few things in common:

Background in fine dining, hospitality, or food and beverage
Speak a second language - our customer base is international
Genuinely love meeting people and building relationships
Want a real career in wine, not just a commission check
Excited to travel internationally and share that with clients
Value independence and building something of their own

What you earn

Wine sales: Up to 30% commission - among the highest in the industry
European tours: 10% commission on every client you bring on a Vinera travel experience
Monthly subscriptions: Ongoing commissions from your subscriber base, every month
Top earner range: $3,000–$6,000+ per month for active consultants

What we offer

Products: Curated imported European wines your clients will not find on any grocery store shelf
Training: Full onboarding, wine education, and sales support - no prior wine certification required
Travel access: Invitation to lead client groups on Vinera's European winery tours
Flexibility: You set your own hours and build your book of business on your terms
Community: A team that knows your name and genuinely wants you to succeed
