Submission #602

Dakota Shy Wine is seeking 2021 Harvest Interns!

Selected interns will have an opportunity to thrive at Dakota Shy, one of Napa Valley’s state-of-the-art wineries during its fifth harvest. Interns will learn production processes from our winemaker, assistant winemaker, and cellar master.

We ask that applicants have at least one year of previous harvest, wine, microbiology, enology, or viticulture experience or education.

Commonly required tasks include, but are not limited to, work in confined spaces, climb a ladder, stand and walk for long periods of time, repeatedly lift 50 pounds, work with winery sanitation chemicals, use personal protective equipment, work outdoors and inside. Fruit Processing, fermentation management, drain and pressing, barrel filling and racking, winery upkeep, and topping make up the fun stuff. Lunch will be provided on “fruit days.”

Successful applicants will be over the age of 21, have a valid driver’s license, own a car, find housing, communicate effectively in English, have legal United States work status, and must be willing to work with limited days off. Reliability and self-motivation are essential skills.

Employment for harvest will begin August 16 through November 19 with competitive compensation.
