(Wine Jobs:
Vineyards & Cellars )
Contract
Jordan Station,
Ontario
Creekside Estate Winery has been doing its premium thing as a small batch producer, growing and making wine in Niagara since 1997. Over the years, Creekside developed a reputation as a pioneer of new to the region grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah.
Creekside is run by a dedicated group of industry veterans who have decades of combined experience in their respective fields. The winery is decidedly non-conformist, providing unique, expressive wines in a comfortable, down-to-earth atmosphere. This group of self-described cork dorks love what they do, and have fun doing it.
We are currently recruiting for the position of Assistant Winemaker. This is a contract position that would commence January 2018 and run until March 2019.
The position will work closely with and report directly to the Winemaker of Creekside Estate Winery, Rob Power. The successful candidate will be responsible for, in conjunction with the Senior Winemaker, for planning and execution of all general cellar work.
Our Assistant Winemaker takes a lead role in the "nuts and bolts" of winemaking but also in all winemaking decisions.
