Want to be part of our story? We’re looking for energetic, motivated, and reliable people to join our team for the 2020 Vintage.
Day in the Life:
Our team harvests grapes from mainly the Southern Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, working with up to 450 tons of fruit per year. Our winery focuses mainly on red wines produced from Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, but also work with Malbec, Mourvedre, Petit Verdot, Gamay Noir and Pinot Noir. White wines make a smaller part of our portfolio, but the varietals are equally exciting, focusing on Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Chardonnay. As part of our harvest team you will participate in all facets of the grape processing and fermentation management stages of the winemaking process.
Want to know more? You will…
· Work with small batches of wine in the punch down process
· Utilize basket and bladder presses with red and white varietals

· Monitor fermentation and lab work
· Drain, rack and sanitize tanks
Must Haves:
