SUMMARY:
Tasting Room Manager
ð Boutique Wine Estate | Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
If you love hospitality, enjoy meaningful conversations around good wine, and are ready to step into a role where you can truly grow, then keep reading.
A premium, fast-growing wine estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is looking for a Tasting Room Manager to take ownership of their boutique tasting room. This is not a “stand and pour” position. It is for someone who understands that every guest interaction builds a brand.
The estate has seen exceptional growth year on year. With plans to expand their hospitality offering in future, this role offers real opportunity for someone who wants to build their career in the wine and hospitality space.

POSITION INFO:
Role: Tasting Room Manager
Location: Hermanus, Western Cape
Salary: TBC

What you will be doing:

Managing the tasting room Wednesday to Sunday (09:30–17:30)
Creating a premium, relaxed and memorable guest experience
Maintaining an excellent 4.8 Google review standard
Actively promoting and growing wine club memberships
Taking initiative during quieter winter months, there is always something to improve, organise or build

What I am looking for in the right candidate:

Previous hospitality experience (restaurant, hotel or wine environment)
A polished, confident presence that represents a premium brand well
Commercial awareness, comfortable speaking about value and closing a wine club sign-up
Strong attention to detail
Emotional maturity and the ability to receive direct feedback
Own reliable transport (the farm location requires this)

What makes this opportunity special:
This is an ambitious business with hands-on owners and an open culture. Growth could lead into broader hospitality management, events or even trade-related sales support, depending on your strengths and drive.
Remuneration is aligned with experience and includes tips, as well as incentives linked to wine club subscriptions.
If you are proactive, energetic and ready to take ownership of a space, I would love to hear from you.
