Bartender

Sojourner is the center of life in the Inn, where all are welcome to gather by the fire and partake. Experience a singular moment in time and savor the gift of today, together. A toast to those who came before, to the bounty, and to the promise of what’s yet to come. Through the seasons, we realize that what’s here today won’t always be here tomorrow. So, we must embrace it all—the people, the places, the experiences—as the essence of our existence.

The Bartender will serve guest needs by providing exceptional knowledge of wine, spirits and mixed drinks as well as information regarding preparation methods. We are looking for team members to help us as we continue our journey to inspire culinary consciousness – showcasing fresh, seasonal fare that highlights the path from seed to plate. Our dining experiences take place just steps from where our ingredients are grown and raised.
