2026 Harvest Cellar Hand – Paso Robles, California

Field Recordings Winery, located in Paso Robles, California, is hiring one experienced harvest cellar hand for the 2026 vintage! We’re a small-to-medium-sized winery, processing approximately 800 tons of fruit annually, sourced from over 20 vineyards across California’s Central Coast. Our diverse grape portfolio offers an incredible opportunity to learn about a wide range of varietals and winemaking styles. We are looking for someone with a minimum of 2 harvests of cellar experience.

About the Role:

As a harvest cellar hand, you’ll work side-by-side with our experienced cellar crew—some of whom have been part of the team for 10+ years. This is a hands-on position where you’ll be involved in all aspects of harvest, from crush to press.

What You’ll Gain:

- Full immersion in the wine production process making many different styles of wine (red, white, orange, pet-nat, traditional method sparkling, carbonic maceration)

- Daily harvest lunches and a well-stocked kitchen with snacks and treats

- Vertical, blind, and inspiring wine tastings to help broaden your palate

- The chance to be part of a tight-knit, passionate team that makes the most of the harvest season (expect plenty of music, jokes, and ridiculous hypothetical questions)

What We’re Looking For:

- Legal authorization to work in the U.S.

- Local candidate with reliable transportation

- Strong physical fitness and comfort with manual labor

- A positive attitude and excitement to learn

- Two harvests of cellar experience and experience on a forklift

Position Details:

- Duration: August – October 2026

- Schedule: Full-time; 6 days/week during peak harvest (overtime expected)

- Pay: $20 - 25 / hour
