2019 Harvest Intern (Wine Jobs: Vineyards & Cellars )

  Stoller Wine Group

  Dayton, Oregon

Hello from Stoller Family Estate in Dayton, OR! We are looking for a team player who wants a company to believe in and a company who in turn believes in them. We are in perpetual growth mode, selling multiple brands at multiple price points; Stoller Wine Group includes Stoller Family Estate, Chehalem, Chemistry, and Canned Oregon.

Stoller Family Estate is proud to announce it has been named the No. 1 Tasting Room in the Nation by the 2018 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. All of our vineyards are LIVE Certified (Low Input Viticulture and Enology), Salmon Safe, and B Corp certified. Stoller Family Estate is the first LEED® Gold certified winery in the world.

POSITION INFORMATION
We are looking for experienced Harvest Interns that are hard-working, friendly, team players who enjoy getting their hands dirty making beautiful, well-crafted wines. Harvest Interns are an integral part of our team during harvest and will work alongside the production team to ensure our standard of quality is met. You will work directly with the Assistant Winemaker to complete all tasks related to winemaking. This full time, seasonal position requires open availability (including weekends and some holidays) and flexible days/hours. Our schedule varies depending on the harvest season, and the needs of the winemaking team as whole. This position is expected to start the beginning of August and continue until mid-November with some potential to continue into December. Our interns must be able to work long hours without any conflicting commitments during this time.

Our reserve facility is a gravity flow winery with stillage barrel caves that focuses on small lot reserve blends. The pace is unique for each facility but both positions require a keen eye for detail, the ability to take direction and when necessary the ability to hustle. Stoller Family Estate offers the unique opportunity to produce world class wines through multiple scales of production and techniques.
