Job description

  • Promote retail wine sales, demonstrating knowledge of available bottles and suggesting purchases based on guest preferences.
  • Drive sales through the promotion of tours, classes, and ticketed events, ensuring guests are aware of all the unique experiences First Batch has to offer.

  • Demonstrate the ability to adapt and assist in other areas of the winery as needed, such as supporting special events or guest services.
  • Take initiative to maintain a clean, sanitized, organized, and well-stocked tasting room, ensuring all supplies and equipment are readily available.
