Domaine Roy & fils is seeking a driven and passionate Cellar Master to join our small winemaking team.

Marc-André Roy and winemaker Jared Etzel established Domaine Roy & fils in 2012 to celebrate their heritage and continue the winemaking history of their fathers, who founded Beaux Frères Winery in 1991. Over 20 years later, we have kept the same focus of producing timeless wine through meticulous and almost obsessive work in our estate vineyards. With a minimalist winemaking approach and a commitment to organic farming, our wines exhibit a full expression of vintage and terroir.

Our foundational principles include native yeast fermentations, minimal intervention craftsmanship, and unfined & unfiltered wines. We produce roughly 5000 cases from our two estate vineyards in Dundee and Yamhill-Carlton. Stewardship of the land is at the heart of everything we do. With only 40 acres under vine, we pride ourselves on farming our sites with care and intention of making the wine in the vineyard.
