Obsidian Wine Company is looking for a harvest cellar intern for the 2024 vintage. We are seeking motivated, hard-working, fun and detail-oriented cellar interns to help make 2024 the best vintage ever. You will get hands on experience within a small, highly experienced and dedicated winemaking team on all aspects of harvest winery operations. Previous cellar experience a plus but not a deal breaker as we’re happy to train the right candidates and let’s be honest, this is not rocket surgery, we’re making booze. Harvest positions start mid-August and run through mid-November with some flexibility in start dates.
You will not find another internship that offers you a more diverse opportunity or a more welcoming group of people. We are focused on making the finest wines from our estate vineyards aged in our proprietary cooperage. That’s right, we own our own cooperage and make our own barrels in Hungary. We make Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and sparkling from our Napa Carneros property and Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from our hillside vineyard in the Red Hills of Lake County. As well as some more esoteric and fun projects from pet-nats to ciders to vermouth for our Rabbit Hole projects that you will get hands on experience with. Our interns also get to work with some of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay the west coast has to offer through our custom crush clients and be exposed to various talented, well respected winemakers and their unique winemaking styles. Obsidian Wine Company’s production winery is located in downtown Sonoma.
Hourly compensation of $19-21/hr
