This person will play a central role in setting the tone for the season—both for our guests and our team—ensuring that every visitor receives a seamless, story-driven, and memorable experience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Team Leadership
    Manage the front-of-house team (2–3 seasonal staff), overseeing scheduling, day-to-day operations, and upholding Mason Vineyard’s high standards of service and professionalism.

  • Sales-Focused Hospitality
    Engage guests with warmth and expertise—supporting them through guided tastings, assisting with wine purchases, encouraging sign-ups for future releases, and helping to cultivate long-term relationships.
