Job description
Wilderton Non-Alcoholic Botanical Spirits
Love hospitality? Maybe you have worked at a wine, spirits or beer tasting room and love the customer experience but not so much the alcohol? Come join Wilderton's awesome team opening the nation's first non-alcoholic distillery & tasting room on the vibrant Hood River Waterfront!
We are seeking incredible team members for part-time Summer seasonal work spreading education and love for our craft spirts made on site!
Primary schedule is 11AM - 7PM Sat & Sun with possible additional weekday hours. $20/hour plus tips and commission on bottle sales.
Company Information
Wilderton was founded in Oregon in 2019 to bring a craft spirits sensibility to the non-alc market, with liquids worthy of playing a part in the growing mindful mixology culture. Unlike other non-alc spirits brands, we were founded by distillers, who make our own liquids from scratch, through a unique production process blending tradition with technology. Drawing on techniques from craft distilling, perfume making and tea production, we create complex, bold liquids that won’t be mistaken for anything currently behind the bar.
