WHO WE ARE:
For more than 50 years, Dry Creek Vineyard has remained proudly independent and family-owned, with a pioneering history in Sonoma County and a reputation built on exceptional wines, enduring relationships and doing things our own way.
Recently named Best Winery in the Bay Area by SFGATE, we’re proud of our legacy, our commitment to sustainable farming and our uncompromising approach to quality. But great wines don’t happen on their own! Behind every bottle is a hardworking team of people who keep our vineyards, winery and hospitality operations running smoothly.
We’re a small, collaborative team where everyone pitches in, no two days are quite the same and individual contributions truly matter. If you take pride in a job well done, enjoy tackling new challenges and want to be part of a family winery with a remarkable history and an exciting future, we’d love to meet you!

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Are you the kind of person who can diagnose a problem, figure out how to fix it and get the job done right? Do you enjoy variety in your work, take pride in keeping equipment running smoothly and appreciate the satisfaction of solving a tricky mechanical problem?

Whether you’re troubleshooting a piece of equipment during harvest, coordinating with an outside contractor or tackling a facility improvement project, you bring a positive attitude, practical know-how and a commitment to getting things done safely and correctly.
Most importantly, you’re someone who takes ownership, thinks on your feet and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. Spanish-language skills are a plus.

RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
•  Performing repairs, modifications and preventative maintenance on all winery equipment and facilities, i.e., “the entire winery”, to completion. This may include basic carpentry, painting, electrical and plumbing repairs, and concrete work.
•  Maintaining and repairing winery water delivery system, wastewater system, and storm water conveyance system.
•  Diagnosing issues with equipment and facility systems and determining required repairs or modifications, including isolation of the malfunction, disassembly of equipment and repair or replacement of bearings, gears, structural components, etc.
•  Purchasing supplies for various projects.
•  Scheduling and coordinating repairs and maintenance with the Winemaker and Cellarmaster.
