Part-Time Tasting Room Host
Gary Farrell Winery | Healdsburg, CA (On-Site)

At Gary Farrell Winery, we believe wine tastes better when it’s shared and even better when the view is endless.

Perched high above the Russian River Valley, Gary Farrell Winery has always been about perspective, both in the wines we craft and the experiences we create. Our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are expressive, balanced, and deeply connected to place, and the same can be said for how we welcome our guests: thoughtfully, warmly, and always with intention.

A visit here isn’t just a tasting, it’s a moment to slow down, take in the view, and discover something new. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Part-Time Tasting Room Host to join our team. Someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys connecting with people from all over, and understands that great hospitality and great sales go hand in hand. Someone who can read a table, tell a story, and confidently guide a guest from their first sip to a bottle (or a membership) they’re excited to take home.

What You’ll Do
As a Tasting Room Host, you’ll play a key role in shaping each guest’s experience—guiding the flow of the tasting, creating connection, and driving our direct-to-consumer business.
- Greet guests with warmth and genuine hospitality
- Guide guests through tastings in a way that is engaging, educational, and tailored to the moment
- Actively drive wine sales and wine club sign-ups through thoughtful recommendations and conversation
- Share the story of Gary Farrell wines in a way that feels natural (never scripted)
- Read the room and adapt your approach to create a memorable, personalized experience
- Work collaboratively with the team to keep the day running smoothly
- Help maintain a polished, guest-ready space at all times

What We’re Looking For
- A natural host who enjoys connecting with people and selling wine
- Comfortable with sales and motivated by goals (this is a sales-focused role)
- Positive, team-oriented, and ready to jump in wherever needed
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
- Comfortable multitasking in a busy environment
- Weekend availability (required)
- Previous hospitality, retail, or wine experience is a plus but not required

Why Gary Farrell?

We’re also proud to have been recognized as a Best Place to Work by NorthBay Business Journal, a reflection of the culture our team has built together.

Plus, you’ll spend your workdays with one of the best views in Sonoma County!
