We are now accepting applications for Winery Associates at Jackson-Triggs Winery. We are looking for a self-motivated individual with a passion for wine, who is outgoing, enjoys meeting new people, is an effective and dynamic communicator, and can deliver excellent customer service. The ideal candidate will have some experience with wine sales.

As a Winery Associate (GSA), you’ll be the face of the Estate: welcoming guests, guiding tastings and tours, supporting our Lounge & Entourage Room service, and jumping into high-energy events. From relaxed afternoons on the patio to big summer concert nights in our 600-seat amphitheatre, no two shifts are the same—and that’s the fun of it.

What you’ll do

Guest experience + wine

• Create warm, fun, professional guest experiences during tastings and retail purchases
• Deliver entertaining and informative tours, including structured tastings for groups
• Share wine stories, answer guest questions, and help guests find their perfect bottle

• Maintain cleanliness and organization of service areas (front-of-house and support areas)

Events (special events + amphitheatre concerts)

• Seasonal festivals and long weekends (high energy, high volume, great vibes)
• Wine club / member events and feature tastings
• Food & wine pairing experiences
• Private events and large group bookings

Retail + operations

• Use a computer-operated point-of-sale system and complete opening/closing duties
• Keep shelves stocked (wine + giftware), displays looking sharp, and product ready to sell
• Help keep the Estate guest-ready with general housekeeping and restocking

What you’ll bring

• Smart Serve Certification
