Early Start Harvest Intern

Archery Summit Winery is seeking an enthusiastic individual to join our team beginning mid to late May to support our 2025 summer rackings and continue as a seasonal harvest intern for the 2026 vintage. Running from mid/late May through October/November, this position engages in every stage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production, from racking and bottling the previous vintage to vineyard sampling, fermentation management, and barreling down. Ideal candidates bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a passion for crafting impactful, memorable wines. Prior experience is welcome but not required; if you’re excited about wine and ready to get your hands dirty, we encourage you to apply.

About Archery Summit Winery
Nestled in the historic Dundee Hills AVA of Oregon, Archery Summit has been producing award winning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for the past thirty years. Committed to holistic practices in the vineyard, we view ourselves as stewards of the land, and we are committed to crafting wines of intent. We farm sixty acres across five unique sites within the Dundee Hills, with our oldest plantings dating back to 1973. Our cellar features concrete, stainless steel, and wooden fermenters and Oregon’s first true underground wine cave.

Responsibilities and Skills:
Responsibilities of harvest interns include but are not limited to: Vineyard sampling, grape receival, fruit sorting, cap management by pump over and punch down, racking, tank dig outs, pressing, and barreling down. We value candidates who can work both independently and alongside our dynamic, close-knit team. The desire to learn and work through continuous improvement is core to our team’s success. Strong organizational and communication skills are required. As with all wine making, cleaning will be an integral part of our daily activities. During the course of fermentation, we work on elevated surfaces or ladders, so applicants must be comfortable in these conditions. Forklift experience is a plus, but we hope all applicants are willing and interested in learning how to use a forklift. Candidates must be able to lift 50 lbs. and be comfortable working for extended periods on their feet and in wet or cold conditions. Finally, applicants must be committed to maintaining a safe and respectful work environment.

For those interested in joining our team in early June, prior experience racking out of barrels, washing barrels, and bottling are ideal but not required.

Housing and Benefits:
In addition to competitive compensation, we offer interns our guest house as accommodation while working. Located a short walk from the winery, our guest house sits surrounded by one of our vineyards with a stunning view of Mt. Hood and the Willamette Valley. The house features a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Lunch will be provided during fruit receival. Blind wine tasting is a core part of our harvest experience and rounds out our philosophy of continuous improvement.
