Seasonal Tasting Room Associate (Part-Time)

About the Role

At Frog’s Leap, hospitality is about real connection—warm welcomes, genuine conversations, and making people feel at home. As a Seasonal Part Time Tasting Room Associate, you’ll be an essential part of a tightly knit team of brand ambassadors, warmly welcoming guests, sharing our stories, reflecting our sustainable values, and creating memorable experiences.

You’ll lead engaging, casual seated tastings in the garden and conduct walking tours that begin and end on the back porch of our Vineyard House; guiding visitors through discovery experiences that are rooted in our belief that wine — when responsibly farmed and sustainably produced, is a wonderful part of a joyful life.

In this role, you’ll share our stories and our wines in your own voice, taking pride in helping every guest, from first\-time walk\-ins to longtime Frog Fellows, enjoy a memorable visit. As a key member of the team tasked with balancing education and sales, you’ll be asked to lean into our core values, balancing responsibility and generosity, and cultivating genuine hospitality where all are welcomed and respected. You’ll show up as yourself in a culture that values curiosity and accountability in equal measure, always aiming to find joy in what we do, where we do it and the people we do it with.

This position is a great fit for someone who finds meaning in the small details that make a great visit — if you want to be part of a sustainable, family business with a strong culture of shared purpose, then this job might be for you.
