Tasting Room Associate

Dusky Goose

Dundee, OR

Job Description:

You love sharing incredible wines with great people in a stunning setting.

You are a hospitality pro who thrives on creating memorable experiences and making guests feel like old friends.

Your passion for wine is infectious, and it naturally drives sales—whether you’re telling the story of a vineyard or recommending the perfect bottle. You understand that every guest interaction is an opportunity to sell, and you’re motivated by meeting (and exceeding) sales goals.

We are Dusky Goose, a small but mighty team crafting world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the heart of the Dundee Hills. For over 20 years, our wines have been shaped by the hands of founding winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash and now by Hans Van Dale. We focus on expressive, limited-production wines that are built to age and showcase the unique character of our vineyards—perfect for both collecting and enjoying over time. Our estate tasting room, nestled within Rambouillet Vineyard, offers one of the most intimate and educational tasting experiences in the Willamette Valley.

You are:
-Passionate about wine and eager to share your knowledge with guests
-A natural storyteller who can bring our vineyards, wines, and history to life
-Confident in guiding guests through tastings and selling wine, club memberships, and new releases with enthusiasm
-A team player who thrives in a fun, close-knit, and professional environment
-Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage reservations and transactions seamlessly
-Available for weekends, some holidays, and occasional evening events

We are:
-A hospitality-driven team dedicated to delivering unforgettable wine experiences
-Focused on quality, from our wines to our service and everything in between
-A winery that believes in education, team collaboration, and opportunities for growth
-Laid-back but professional—serious about our wines, but never stuffy about sharing them

In this role, you will:
-Host guests at our estate tasting room, leading engaging and educational tastings
-Share the story of Dusky Goose, our vineyards, and the Dundee Hills AVA
-Provide a top-tier guest experience while proactively driving wine sales and club sign-ups to meet key performance goals
-Manage reservations and transactions via Tock and WineDirect
-Work closely with the Hospitality Manager to meet individual and team sales goals


What we offer:

-Competitive hourly pay (DOE)
-Monthly commission on sales and club sign-ups
-Quarterly team goal bonuses
-Monthly wine allotment and employee discounts on wine
-Team-building outings and educational opportunities
-Growth potential within Dusky Goose and our new brand, Rambeaux

What you bring:

3+ years of experience in hospitality, tasting rooms, wine sales, or a related service industry
-A passion for wine and enthusiasm for sharing it
-A proven ability to sell, with a results-driven mindset and comfort recommending wines based on guest preferences
-Strong teamwork and collaboration skills
-The ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced setting
-Experience with Tock and WineDirect (or similar platforms) preferred
-Physical ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
-A valid driver’s license and OLCC Server permit
-Must be 21+ with reliable transportation

2-4 days per week, Saturday and Sunday availability is required. If you’re ready to pour great wines in a stunning location with an amazing team, we’d love to hear from you!
