Harvest 2025 Interns - Caliza Winery/End Of The Day Wines
Seasonal F/T
Caliza Winery
Tin City, Paso Robles, CA
Caliza Winery is a small, premium winery established in 2006 on the west side of Paso Robles. Owned and operated by Carl and Pam Bowker, Caliza makes wines that are true to site and vintage, and we pride ourselves in the consistency of our wines year to year. We focus mainly on Rhone varieties along with Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the most highly acclaimed vineyards in the region. We are looking for a harvest intern to join our very small winery team here in Paso Robles for the 2024 vintage. You will have exposure to fruit and vineyard sites from all over Paso Robles and be working with many different varieties between Caliza and our sister brand End Of The Day Wines. Working with our small team you will have your hands in all sides of the winemaking process during harvest and get to see a wide range of winemaking techniques between our two brands. Our winemaking facility is in Tin City, so the harvest environment is lively and exciting and there is no long commute off the highway.
