We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-driven wine professional to represent two complementary portfolios in the Santa Clara / San Mateo County market. This is a rare opportunity to build a territory with two respected importers, offering broader reach, stronger earnings potential, and a more complete book of business.

About the Opportunity

You will represent both Copa Fina Wine Imports & Distribution and WineWise LLC, two established companies with aligned values, family-owned producers, and strong reputations in the trade. Rather than splitting time between unrelated side hustles, this role is designed to give you a cohesive, focused portfolio across key European regions, with support from two experienced teams.

This is a commission-based contractor role with flexible scheduling. The territory spans the South Bay & Peninsula region, with a mix of existing accounts and significant growth potential.

About WineWise

WineWise has been importing a dazzling array of European wines since 1989 with a well-established business in the state. We represent top-quality producers across Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Germany, and Greece, with a strong, loyal customer base and a highly collaborative team culture.

About Copa Fina

Copa Fina has been importing and distributing artisanal, family-owned wineries since 2009. Our producers are driven by authenticity, sustainability, and a deep sense of place. We work long-term, relationship-first, and focus primarily on on-premise and independent retail.

What We Offer

•  A combined book of business with both established accounts and open growth territory

•  Commission-based compensation with strong upside, paid on collected invoices

•  Flexible schedule that can evolve with your goals

•  Supportive, relationship-driven company cultures on both sides

•  Access to training, producer education, and ongoing sales tools

Who You Are

•  A self-starter who is organized, responsive, and accountable

•  Comfortable working independently while staying connected to a team

•  Curious about wine and motivated to keep learning

•  Resilient, persistent, and not easily discouraged

•  Entrepreneurial in mindset, but professional in execution

Previous wine sales or distribution experience is advantageous but not critical. However, a solid foundation of wine knowledge is necessary for success.

What You’ll Do

•  Cultivate existing accounts and develop new ones through cold calls, walk-ins, referrals, and industry contacts.

•  Present and sell wines across both portfolios with confidence and accuracy

•  Build long-term relationships through consistent service, communication, and follow-through

•  Manage orders, account details, and territory planning with attention to detail

•  Collaborate with leadership at both companies to grow the territory strategically

Requirements

•  Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle

•  Ability to lift and carry up to 45 lbs repeatedly

•  Must be at least 21 years of age

Compensation

Fully commission-based. Income ranges widely depending on time commitment, goals, and performance.
