Independent Wine Consultant

Part-Time or Full-Time | Commission-Based | Flexible Schedule

Average Pay: $3,000-$6,000+ per month ($35,000-$72,000+ annually)

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

About the Role

Whether you're looking for a flexible part-time opportunity or want to build a full-time business, Vinera allows you to create a schedule that fits your life.

Unlike many commission opportunities, there isn't just one path to success here. We offer multiple ways to build your business based on your strengths and personality:

Hosting in-home wine tastings and private events
Building relationships through customer referrals
Participating in trade shows, festivals, and community events
Working with customers over the phone
Growing recurring revenue through wine subscriptions
Developing long-term client relationships that lead to repeat business and travel opportunities

Some consultants thrive hosting tastings. Others excel in phone sales, networking, events, or relationship-building. We help you find the approach that works best for you.

Why People Stay at Vinera

We are proud of our culture and the people who make it special.

Many members of our team have been with us for 10, 15, and even 20+ years. We're a nationwide company with a long history of success, but we've maintained the supportive, close-knit culture of a small team.

At Vinera, you're never just a number. We know our consultants by name, celebrate their successes, and provide the training and support they need to grow. Our team genuinely wants to see each other succeed.
