2022 Harvest Cellar Assistant

Napa Valley old vine Zinfandel and Petite Sirah specialists, Robert Biale Vineyards, is seeking some hard working and passionate folks to assist our production team for the 2022 harvest. We are a small, dedicated team focused on working with some of the most historic and iconic vineyards in Napa and Sonoma Counties. Please check out our website (www.biale.com) to learn more about these amazing sites and our history. Just to keep things interesting, along with Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, we also work with small amounts of Barbera, Sangiovese, Syrah, Abouriou, Tempranillo, Alicante Bouschet, and Greco.

The position consists of all things harvest: cleaning (anything and everything), grape sample processing, fruit sorting, barrel washing/steaming, punchdowns and pumpovers, additions, topping, pressing, and barrel filling. Previous harvest and forklift experience, while helpful, is not required. What is required is a general drive to work hard during long days, especially during the peak of harvest, an ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs., an eagerness to learn, ask questions, and the ability to work safely and with common sense.

The position would begin in early to mid-August and run through early to mid-November, depending on the season. Weekend work is required, as is flexibility based upon harvest conditions.
