Tasting Room Associate (Wine Jobs: Wine Retail & Sommelier)

Full Time

  Sage Hills Wine & Organic Vineyards (http://www.sagehillswine.com)

  Summerland, British Columbia

Are you interested in learning about organic viticulture and natural wines? We’re looking for team members who want to dive deep into the world of natural wine in Summerland BC.  

What is natural wine? To us, it starts in the vineyard. Our 10-acre vineyard was planted in 2006 and has been organic since day 1. This means no man-made synthetic chemicals are used in our vineyards- including pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or synthetic fertilizers. If any sprays are employed, they are plant or mineral based in order to promote a harmonic balance between native plants, vine development, and the health of our living soils. 

In the cellar, our wines are made naturally- 100% grapes fermented from naturally occurring yeast present on the skins of our grapes, with the only occasional addition being low amounts of sulfur (so2) - nothing else. We’re producing organic wine that is not only reflective of each growing season, but expressive of the Okanagan Valley's unique terroir. 

We take pride in going above and beyond the organic requirements needed for certification in the vineyard and in the winery. We are honoured to disclose that we are the largest generator of solar energy in the district of Summerland BC, as well as being one of the first net zero wineries in the Okanagan Valley.

Tasting Room Associate Job Opportunities: 

Tasting room staff will be given the opportunity to be involved in growing our grapes and making our wines alongside our winemakers and viticulturists Keenan Thrussell and Zoë Jacoe. You will be given the option to work 1-2 days per week in the vineyard or if preferred- full time tasting room hours only. This will be up to our staff, we understand not everyone is able to work in the Okanagan heat during the growing season. Our goal is to make opportunities for our future employees to find their passion in this wine industry.

This is a Tasting Room Associate position, with full-time and part-time positions available. May-November. No full time vineyard jobs are available.
