About us

Gold Hill Vineyard and Brewery is a family-owned winery nestled in the heart of El Dorado County wine country. We take pride in crafting wines and beers with a personal touch, offering our guests an authentic, intimate experience that larger operations simply can't match.

• Handle point-of-sale transactions and maintain a clean, well-stocked tasting room
• Collaborate closely with our winemaker and team to stay current on new releases and vineyard happenings
• Assist with events and special tastings as needed

What we're looking for

• Passion for wine, hospitality, and connecting with people
• Strong communication skills and a naturally warm, outgoing personality
• A true team player — we're a small, close-knit crew and a collaborative spirit is a must
• Ability to work respectfully and enthusiastically alongside our winemaker and fellow staff
• Wine knowledge or tasting room experience is a plus — we're happy to train the right person
• Comfort with wine club membership sales and guest engagement
• Availability Thursday through Sunday (required), including holidays
• Able to lift 50 lbs
• Must be 21 and hold or be willing to obtain Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) certification
