Mural City Cellars is Philadelphia’s first independently-owned urban winery. Our small, passionate team makes dry, fruit-forward wines with grapes sourced within 300-miles of the city. We are expanding the team at our Summer and Fall wine garden right next door at 1825 Frankford Ave. We are looking for enthusiastic team members to participate in all aspects of running both locations.
Pay is $20 per hour with an expectation of 2 shifts per week, one of which might be an on-call shift. The Garden is open Friday 4-10 PM and Saturdays 12-10 PM.
Description of duties
Assist guests in choosing the perfect wine; opening bottles, pouring glasses, opening other beverages, and collecting payment; setting up and breaking down the garden at opening and close; keeping the garden beautiful through cleaning and maintaining the property; accurately checking guest IDs; and maintaining excellent hospitality in a fast-paced environment.
All team members, no matter their respective station for the evening, will ensure that all guests are comfortable and acquainted with the space, will hold in-depth product knowledge and can answer any questions about the wine, our winery, and production, and will jump in as needed on any aspect of the floor that needs attention. All team members will also be responsible for opening and closing, cleaning, and sidework. Winery Team Members will also be called upon for event staffing, and potentially working an additional station in an outdoor seasonal space.
What we’re looking for
- Passion for East Coast wine or a strong interest in learning about the full range of Mural City Cellar wines and other offerings at the wine bar
- Interest in working for a small, independently owned business
- Flexibility and openness to working all stations and swapping duties at a moment’s notice
- Understanding of the constantly growing and changing nature of working for a small business
- Ability to be a team player and participate fully in each station and in the outdoor garden space
- Experience working in wine, hospitality, or customer service is a plus
- Available for at least 2 shifts per week and flexibility in schedule
Compensation
All Winery Team Members are paid a starting wage of $20 per hour regardless of station. A 15% service charge is added to each check that supports this starting wage. We do not solicit tips in addition to the service charge, however, any additional tips are pooled and paid out to Winery Team Members at the end of the pay period based on hours worked.
Benefits
- 25% staff discount on all MCC wines and other products, including your check with up to 5 other guests (some exclusions may apply)
- Attend up to two Wine Classes per year with a guest (complimentary)

Schedule
The Wine garden is open Friday 4-10 PM and Saturdays 12-10 PM, with the possibility of expanding days as we move forward.
