Red Newt Cellars, a premium winery in the heart of the Finger Lakes, is seeking a Harvest Intern to join our production team for the 2025 harvest season. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside a passionate (and small) winemaking team in a hands-on environment, producing world-class Rieslings, dry reds, other cool-climate varietals. This is a great opportunity to deepen your winemaking knowledge, contribute meaningfully to the harvest process, and work with a small, supportive, and skilled team. While this position is seasonal, there is an opportunity for this to potentially become a year-round position.

Requirements:
•  Minimum 1 year of experience (harvest-only experience is acceptable).
•  Must be reliable, motivated, and able to work flexible hours, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends as needed.
•  Must be able to lift 50 lbs and perform physically demanding tasks in varying conditions.
•  Valid driver’s license required

Duties and Responsibilities:
As a Harvest Intern, you will assist with all aspects of harvest operations, including:
•  Grape processing, destemming, pressing
•  Fermentation monitoring: sampling, Brix/temperature readings
•  Fermentation management/cap management
•  Juice and wine transfers using pumps and hoses.
•  Cleaning and sanitizing tanks, equipment, and work areas.
•  Racking and filtration
•  Barrel work and general cellar maintenance.
•  Accurate record keeping and attention to detail in all tasks.

We encourage people looking for part-time harvest work to apply, as well.
