What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seasonal Winery Worker position at Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden?
Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden is hiring winery harvest workers to assist with all elements of the winemaking production process for the 2023 vintage.
We are a small family owned organic and biodynamic vineyard and winery located outside of Ruch, in the Applegate Valley. We specialize in varieties traditionally made in the Rhône Valley of France, using traditional techniques with minimal additions or intervention. We are a small team focused on quality and integrity.
A multifaceted position, the role includes but is not limited to grape and fermenter sampling, cleaning and sanitization, sorting and processing grapes, fermentation management, and juice and wine transfers. It is basically everything that is needed to get the wine made.
Because of the agricultural nature of winemaking, some longer hours and flexibility will be needed for time worked, but generally, the role will start in early September and end in mid-November, and include 5 or 6 days per week of 8 to 10 hour days. The base rate will be $16-18 per hour, depending on qualifications, and time-and-a-half overtime rate will be earned after 40 hours per week. Lunches, prepared by our tasting room chef, are provided.
No previous experience is required, however a strong work ethic and positive attitude are absolutely necessary. The position is physical in nature, with long days standing and walking around, and requires climbing, stooping, reaching, and lifting and carrying as much as 50 pounds. Comprehensive English communication is required. Forklift and laboratory skills are very welcome.
