Executive Assistant to the CEO
Adobe Road Winery — Petaluma, CA (On-Site)
If you’ve been waiting for a front-row seat to something extraordinary, this is it.
Adobe Road Winery is not your typical wine company, and this is not your typical EA role. We are weeks away from opening the most talked-about winery project in the wine world, and the CEO needs a world-class right hand to help run it all. If you thrive in fast-moving, high-energy environments, love wine, and would love to help change the wine world, keep reading.
Who We Are
Adobe Road Winery is an award-winning boutique producer crafting small-lot, handcrafted wines from Napa and Sonoma counties, with over one hundred 90+ scores from Wine Spectator and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Our lifestyle brand, The Racing Series, is scaling rapidly and turning heads across the country.
Adobe Road is the sister company of The Racers Group, one of the most successful professional sportscar racing teams in North America, with four wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, a victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, seven championships, and over 100 professional wins worldwide. Our CEO and Founder, Kevin Buckler, is a championship-winning racing driver who brings that same obsession with winning to everything we build.
And right now, we are building something that has never been done before.
The New Paradigm
We are putting the finishing touches on a one-of-a-kind, 16,000 sq. ft. Riverfront Winery & Entertainment Complex in the heart of downtown Petaluma on the Petaluma River. There is nothing else like it in the wine industry. This three-story architectural statement combines a state-of-the-art production winery, a motorsports museum celebrating TRG’s racing legacy, a spectacular rooftop event terrace with sweeping river views, a commercial kitchen anchored by a custom 7,000-lb Italian pizza oven, and eight unique event spaces. Ten years in the making. A grand opening on the horizon. Already generating buzz from national media and television. This is “The New Paradigm” of wine country, and you will have a front-row seat to all of it.

•  A genuine love for being part of a winning team and a positive, can-do attitude that is contagious
•  On-site availability in Petaluma, CA full time. Local candidates only.
