Seasonal Part-Time Hospitality & Sales Associate – Amista Vineyards
Join the "Sparkling House" of Dry Creek Valley!
Location: Amista Vineyards, 3320 Dry Creek Valley, Healdsburg, CA. 95448

Do you love making people feel at home? Are you ready to share your passion for wine in a place that values friendship as much as a great bottle of bubbles? At Amista Vineyards, our name means "making friends," and it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. From our estate-grown Méthode Traditionnelle sparkling wines, to our Rhône varietals, we believe every glass is an opportunity to celebrate a moment and create a connection. As the first sparkling house in Sonoma County to be CCOF Certified Organic, we are proud pioneers of sustainable, artisanal winemaking—and we’re looking for someone new to join our circle!

The Opportunity: We’re looking for a warm, guest-focused team member, with a passion for wine and wine sales, to join us in our Healdsburg tasting room. This isn't just about pouring wine; it’s about storytelling, education, and creating that "wow" moment for every guest who walks through our doors.

What a Typical Day Looks Like:
•  Creating Connections: Welcoming guests with a genuine smile and the spirit of "Amista."
•  Sharing Our Story: Educating visitors about our organic farming, our unique "sparkling house" heritage, and the nuances of our Rhône-style wines.
•  Curating the Experience: Guiding guests through tastings, helping them find their new favorite wine, and inviting them to join our Wine Club family.
•  Sales & Club Growth: Strong focus on proactively promoting and selling Wine and Wine Club memberships. Consistently meet or exceed performance metrics, with a focus on increasing Average Order Value (AOV) and conversion rates.
•  Supporting the Team: Working collaboratively to keep the tasting room beautiful and helping manage our "just-in-time" inventory so we’re always ready for a celebration.
•  Growth & Learning: Staying tech-savvy with Commerce7 (our sales platform) and participating in ongoing training to sharpen your hospitality and sales skills.
•  Position Reports to: Hospitality & Events Manager

What You Bring to the Table:
•  The Essentials: You love to talk about, promote and sell wine and wine club memberships. You are 21+, comfortable being on your feet and lifting 50 lbs, and you love the energy of a busy weekend (our favorite days to share wine!)
•  A Natural Host: You’re dependable, personable, and have a great sense of humor. You truly enjoy meeting new people and sharing our story.
•  A Curious Mind: You have a passion for wine (or a deep desire to learn!) and want to dive into the world of estate-grown bubbles.
•  Team Spirit: You’re ready to hit the ground running and support your teammates in a vibrant, supportive environment.

Required Work Schedule: Saturdays and Sundays, plus one additional weekday + events and holidays. This position is Part-time Seasonal (typically May-November), with potential for permanent hire, upon future approval.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:
•  Community: Join a small, tight-knit team that values your voice and treats everyone like a friend.
•  Compensation: $19–$23/hour (DOE) + incentives + gratuity
•  Impact: You’ll be a key part of an authentic, farm-to-table wine country experience.
•  Inspiration: Work at a pioneer estate—the first CCOF Certified Organic Sparkling House in the county.
