What is a cellar?

Cellar workers are professionals who handle various tasks in the production and storage of wine, beer, or other beverages in a cellar environment. Their responsibilities often include cleaning and sanitizing equipment, transferring liquids between tanks or barrels, monitoring fermentation, and assisting with bottling and packaging. Cellar workers play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of the product by ensuring cleanliness and following precise production protocols. They typically work under the supervision of a cellar master or winemaker and may need to perform physical labor in cool, damp conditions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a cellar worker?

To thrive as a Cellar Worker, you need knowledge of winery operations, basic mechanical aptitude, and physical stamina, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with wine production equipment, sanitation protocols, and safety procedures is essential, and forklift certification may be required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are important soft skills for ensuring smooth production and coordinating with other staff. These abilities are crucial for maintaining product quality, workplace safety, and efficient wine production processes.

What are the typical challenges faced when working in a cellar role at a winery or brewery?

Working in a cellar role often involves physically demanding tasks such as lifting heavy barrels, operating pumps, and working in damp or cool environments. Adapting to seasonal workloads—especially during harvest or bottling periods—can be challenging, requiring flexibility and long hours. Additionally, maintaining strict sanitation and safety standards is crucial, as even minor lapses can impact product quality. Teamwork is essential, as cellar staff frequently collaborate closely with winemakers, brewers, and quality control teams to ensure smooth production processes.

ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi - brewers of Asahi Super Dry - acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. As Cellar Supervisor, you'll be the accountable leader for your shift - keeping production, communication, and your team on track, and reporting directly to the Cellar Manager.

PAY BY SHIFT

2nd Shift - $28.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $31.00/hr

3rd Shift - $28.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $32.00/hr
