Failla Wines is seeking cellar interns to join our 2024 harvest team. We are a well-regarded, small winery focusing on premium Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Gamay. Our team is very small, so you should expect to get your hands into every aspect of production. An ideal candidate will be hard working, clean, organized, and love wine. We provide lunch and beer throughout harvest. We strive to create a fun and informative environment so that interns get the most out of their experience. The position will begin in early September and will likely end mid-November. The winery is rustic, but located on the beautiful Patton Valley Vineyard with views of Mount St Helens and Mount Adams and only 40 minutes from Portland.
