This is a varied role combining marketing, wine tastings, customer engagement, events and a strong administrative component. The successful candidate must be genuinely comfortable within the wine environment and confident enough to conduct wine tastings independently when required.

The position works closely with both the Marketing Manager and Tasting Room Manager, supporting the estate's brand, direct-to-consumer sales, digital presence, events, tastings and customer loyalty initiatives. The role also provides administrative assistance to the General Manager.

  • Attend and assist with on-site and off-site wine tastings and events
  • Confidently conduct wine tastings independently
  • Maintain accurate Wine Club and customer databases
  • Communicate promotions, packages and special offers to customers
  • Assist with CRM and customer communication
  • Provide strong administrative support, including reporting, database management and general office administration
  • Assist the General Manager with administrative duties as required

Minimum Requirements

  • Grade 12
  • Marketing qualification/studies advantageous
  • Relevant wine certification
  • Approximately 2 years' experience in a similar role
  • Good knowledge and understanding of the wine industry

Working Hours

Monday – Friday: 08:00 – 17:00
The successful candidate will also relieve the Tasting Room Manager approximately one weekend in every six weeks, as per the roster.

Salary: R12 000 – R15 000 per month, dependent on experience.

This role would suit someone who loves wine but is equally happy behind a computer, with the personality to engage confidently with tasting room guests and the organisational ability to keep the marketing and administrative side running smoothly.
