2024 Vinovate Wine Services Harvest Winemaking Internship

Vinovate Custom Wine Services is an ultra-premium custom crush winery specializing in high-end small-lot custom crush services for some of the best brands in the Willamette Valley. Vinovate is seeking interns to join the winemaking team for the 2024 season. This immersive experience offers the ability to work in a brand-new gravity flow winery and produce premium still and sparkling wines. Our primary focus highlights the world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of the region as well as smaller amounts of other fun varietals from our diverse group of clients.

This full-time, seasonal position requires open availability. Our schedule varies depending on the harvest season, and the needs of the winemaking team as whole. Harvest internships are expected to start mid-August and continue until early November. We offer competitive compensation, harvest meals, wine, inclusivity, and lots of fun. It takes a great team to make great wine. We are looking for energetic, dependable, and positive candidates who are passionate about making premium hand-crafted wines to come join our team and put their mark on the vintage.

Job duties will include grape receiving, sorting, crushing, pressing, rackings, pomace-transfers, juice/must additions, inoculations, punchdowns, barrel prep/filling, winery sanitation, lab work, vineyard sampling, bottling, and other general winery operations. We are a small crew, so everyone does everything from the grapes to the bottle as a team.

Candidates must be flexible to work varying shifts, overtime, weekends, and must be able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. repeatedly.

Qualified candidates are requested to submit a cover letter and resume.
