About Us

We’re a small, woman-owned winery with a big personality. At Galway Rock Vineyard & Winery and Saratoga Sparkling Co., we don’t just pour wine - we create a happy place. Our guests come to unwind, laugh, learn, and sip something special.

With every pour, we’re delivering a relaxed, elevated, valuable experience - with a splash of cheer.

About the Role

As a Tasting Room Sales Associate, you'll do more than serve wine - you’ll connect, educate, and inspire guests to fall in love with our wines and our story. You’ll be part educator, part host, part sales champ, and 100% team player.

This position involves:

• Welcoming guests with warmth, positivity, and personality
• Leading engaging wine tastings with product knowledge and storytelling
• Upselling wine, flights, food items, and club memberships with confidence
• Helping with opening/closing tasks, bartending, bussing, light food prep, and dishwashing
• Supporting private events, winery events, wine club weekends, and offsite tastings
• Maintaining a clean, stylish, and well-stocked tasting room
• Being flexible, pitch-in ready, and upbeat during busy days

The Right Fit Will:

• Be driven and take pride in getting the job done (and done well)
• Have a cheerful energy and love to make people smile
• Be brand loyal - you believe in what we do and share our values
• Always be sellin’ - you’re confident recommending wine and helping guests take home their favorites
• Be a team player who’s always ready to help
• Be relatable, friendly, and easy to talk to - our guests should feel like they’ve met a new best friend

Skills & Experience:

• Sales or hospitality experience is a big plus, but we’re happy to train the right person
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, food-and-wine-service environment
• Strong communication and people skills
• Able to lift 40 lbs, be on your feet for several hours, and handle physical tasks
• Available on weekends & holidays (this is when the magic happens!)
• 18+ and eligible to serve alcohol in NY State

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a tight-knit team that feels like family
• Sell wine you’re proud of (and people actually love!)
• Work in a gorgeous setting that doesn’t feel like “work”
• Opportunities for growth, events, bonuses, and more
• Employee wine discounts & sparkling perks!
