ABOUT US
Post Parade is a small production partnership between Kentucky native Brook Smith and esteemed Napa winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Sourcing from some of the most coveted vineyards in Napa Valley, Post Parade focuses on site-specific Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignons, and Cabernet Franc. Named after the captivating moment when thoroughbred horses walk onto the racetrack, minutes before the starting gate, Post Parade represents the culmination of hard work, planning, and a bit of luck. Thomas and Brook believe this transcendent moment perfectly translates into their shared winemaking and viticultural vision.
We are seeking a multi-talented sales and hospitality rockstar to join the Post Parade team full-time. This is a dynamic, fast-paced role for someone who is personable, organized and passionate about creating exceptional guest experiences. The Brand Ambassador will play an important role in representing Post Parade both with our clientele and within the local hospitality community, building relationships that help grow awareness and referrals.
