Harvest Intern - Cellar

We know you're sifting through countless job posts, but we're excited to tell you why A to Z Wineworks should be your top pick. We'll get to all the nitty gritty job details, but first let's talk about why we should be at the top of your list:

• We're a B Corp: We believe in the power of business as a force for good, prioritizing people and planet alongside profit. Our mission: "Together, we create the highest quality Oregon wines for the greatest sustainable value, blending commerce with conscience."
• Community and Learning: We're a community that believes in showing up with curiosity and sharing what we know. This includes intensive training at the beginning of harvest and opportunities to learn through a variety of tasks. Our winemaking, cellar, and lab teams are eager to share the "why" behind what we're doing.
• Amazing Food: Our winery chef, Billy's harvest food tastes great and gives you the fuel you need to keep going through long hours and hard work. Seriously, when we ask "who made your harvest special?" at the end of each vintage, his food comes up over and over again. Our snack game's not bad, either.
• Great Compensation and Benefits: We'll pay you well, with a sliding scale that starts at $19/hour and increases depending on prior experience. We offer night shift premiums, onsite housing for international crew, and housing stipends for highly experienced candidates. Plus, enjoy lots of swag, a great wine discount, wine bucks for our tasting room, and a special end-of-harvest gift.
