Full-Time Tasting Room Sales Associate (Wine + Private Experiences)

Not your typical tasting room job. At Folded Hills, you’re not just pouring wine, you’re leading private ranch experiences, interacting with animals, and hosting guests in a 600-acre working ranch setting. This role is part hospitality, part sales, and part experience guide.

Compensation: $35–$45/hour average (hourly + tips). Top performers consistently earn on the higher end through wine sales and guest engagement.

Polo Access: Access to polo at our private field + Santa Barbara Polo Club.
Exclusive Tours: Lead private ranch tours in areas most guests never see.
Animal Interaction: Work with horses, a zebra, a camel, and more.
The Setting: Be part of a stunning 600-acre working ranch + winery.
Perks: Employee discounts on wine + experiences.

Full-Time Commitment
Schedule: This is a full-time role that requires a dedicated presence during our busiest times. Weekends and holidays are required.

You don’t want a repetitive job, you want variety and energy.

Experience: Hospitality, restaurant, or sales experience is a plus (not required).
