Job Description

Lingua Franca was inspired by an extraordinary vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills and the Willamette Valley. We started as a partnership of Master Sommelier Larry Stone, a native of the Pacific Northwest, and Dominique Lafon, an iconic producer of Burgundy, and mentor to many winemakers in the Willamette Valley. Our talented winemaking team provides a place for you to learn and grow, no matter where you are on your wine path. Our recent partnership with the Aspira Fine Wine Division of Constellation Brands has brought a new level of excitement to our team.

All our work is guided by respect for the environment, encouraging a healthy diversity of life around and among us. We follow organic farming practices throughout our vineyard. Our winemaking methods are traditional, with a focus on vintage variation. We are committed to our estate style but expect all the sites we work with to express themselves and shape each bottling, focusing on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

We are seeking a diverse group of interns to join our close-knit team for this upcoming 2024 harvest season. Most positions will start mid-August and work through mid-November. There will be one position starting in early July.

This is a lab focused position with some work in the cellar throughout the harvest. Responsibilities will include but are not limited to maturity sampling and management, fermentation tracking, juice and ferment analysis, instrument calibration and operation. You will have opportunity for a greater degree of exposure to vineyards across the Willamette Valley and more in-depth knowledge of their microclimates through this position. Additionally, you will participate in fruit receival on the crush pad, and general harvest vinification in the fermentation cellars as well.

Applicants should have a good attitude and a desire to learn. We ask that you are flexible in your work environment, respect your team members, can work long hours, have attention to detail and a desire to explore not only how, but why we make the wines we do. Reading and writing English is a requirement of this position.

Lunch together is a tradition around here and will be provided while fruit is coming in through the end of pressing.

Salary range is: $18.00 - $20.00/an hour.
