Looking for a job in the wine industry? A job fair is being held today, Sunday, April 10 at the Naramata Centre with a host of South Okanagan wineries looking to fill positions from tasting room associates, vineyard workers, tour guides, servers and more.
The job fair goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If you want work in the vineyard, several wineries are hiring for cellar hands and vineyard labour including planting, weed control, irrigation installation, leaf and shoot thinning. Pay is usually around $18 to $20 p/hr.
Beside meeting prospective employers, you also have the chance to join three different mini breakout sessions.
Canada91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s Youngest Certified Sommelier (1996) and established wine educator Mireille Sauvé (www.thewineumbrella.com) will present three sessions during the job fair: Varietal characteristics, sales trips and tricks and wine and food pairing.
Like all industries, wineries are facing a staffing shortage but are expecting a very busy wine season this year with COVID-19 restrictions lifted and travel restrictions lifted.
