What is a Cool Weekend?

A 'Cool Weekend' job typically refers to a part-time or temporary position that takes place primarily on weekends and is considered enjoyable, interesting, or unique. These jobs might include roles like event staff, tour guides, bartenders, or jobs at entertainment venues, where employees can earn extra income while engaging in fun or social activities. Such positions are popular among students, those seeking a side hustle, or anyone looking for work-life balance by limiting work to weekends. The 'cool' aspect often relates to perks like flexible hours, exposure to new experiences, or working in lively environments.

  • Long hours
  • Weekends included
  • Cleaning and sanitizing of wine equipment

Benefits:

  • $20.00 -$23.00 ย per hour plus overtime
  • Daily drip coffeeย 
  • Super bright rain gear

Requirements

What we need from you:

  • Wine passion
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs
  • Ability to listen and follow directions
  • Willing to have fun!

We'll like you more if you:

  • Have previous experience
  • Have good taste in musicย
