2024 Harvest Intern
Seasonal F/T
Eden Rift Vineyards
Hollister, CA
The vineyards of Eden Rift were established over 170 years ago in 1849, making it the oldest operating vineyard estate on the West coast, and the birthplace of Pinot Noir in America. Tucked away in an idyllic location, on rare limestone soils and sublime terraces, it’s less than an hour from both Silicon Valley and Carmel-by-the-Sea.

With deep authentic history and timeless beauty, one of California’s best kept secrets has just been named one of Wine and Spirits Top 100 Wineries of the World, in the same breath as Penfolds, Louis Roederer, Ornellaia, and other global superstars.

The quality of the wine continues to soar and the ambitions of the company continue to grow. The company has a strong, unified management team with clear vision, youthful vitality, notoriety, and commitment to excellence founded on a welcoming culture of family.

We seek to steward the birthplace of American Pinot Noir with love, and make high quality wine authentically accessible to all.

Eden Rift is looking for interns of all experience levels for the 2024 harvest. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in all facets of winemaking/grape growing. Located in Hollister, CA, our estate currently has 118 acres planted, most of which was planted in the 1980’s and 90’s and recently grafted over to heritage Pinot and Chardonnay clones.

We are looking for interns who are looking for hands-on experience in every realm of winemaking. Candidates will have an eye for detail, an inclination for making quality Pinot and Chardonnay, not afraid to get wet or dirty, and have a good team ethic.

Job duties include, but not limited:
Processing and sorting fruit
Fermentation management
Lab analysis
Additions
Barrel Work
Vineyard sampling and analysis
Sensory analysis
Bottling
Working closely with winemaking team and vineyard manager

Hours vary depending on harvest, but we do occasionally have long days. Must be able to lift 50+ pounds, have a valid driver’s license, and maintain a good attitude in a positive and fun atmosphere. Forklift experience is preferred. Either way we will get you certified. We also welcome anyone in the restaurant industry that has an interest in winemaking.
