Submission #1193

Harvest Cellar Workers work closely with the winemaking team in carrying out a variety of hands-on winemaking tasks, including (but not limited to):
• Assist in receiving, sorting and processing fruit
• Fermentation management operations such as punchdowns, pumpovers & additions
• Yeast inoculations
• Transfer of juice and wine between tanks
• Press operation and cleaning
• Barrel work such as cleaning, gassing, filling and topping
• Other cellar work as assigned.

These daily tasks will be performed around a core of cleaning duties, preceded and followed by more cleaning. All harvest interns will receive training and certification in forklift operation.

We are looking for people with a passion for wine and great enthusiasm for crafting wines of exceptional quality, candidates will ideally have prior harvest experience, but enthusiastic applicants without direct cellar experience are encouraged to apply. A successful applicant will have a can-do attitude, pristine attention to detail, ability to work well as part of a team or on one’s own, be prepared to get dirty and wet on a regular basis (the romance of winemaking), and possess a willingness to ask questions when directions are not crystal clear.
