Cellar Door Host

Overview

The Mission Estate Winery story began in 1838 with French Missionaries arriving in New Zealand. Mission Estate is New Zealand’s oldest winery, and we’re looking for top-notch, enthusiastic people who have a passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences. The Cellar Door team tells our stories, shares our wines, and creates memorable experiences for our guests. Our Cellar Door is one of the busiest in the country, open seven days a year-round schedule.

We’re seeking a team player who is passionate about wine, enjoys great customer service, is energetic, comfortable speaking to the public, and can multitask during busy periods.

Ideally, you have a passion for storytelling and an appreciation of wine, with previous hospitality, tourism, or sales / retail experience. The Cellar Door can be fast-paced during busy times, and since we’re open seven days a week, you’ll need the flexibility to work weekends and public holidays. Full training will be provided, and rosters are completed 2–3 weeks in advance.

This is a fixed-term position from November 2025 to end of April 2026.

Responsibilities

• Support the Cellar Door team in delivering exceptional guest experiences by sharing stories, guiding wine tastings, and assisting with sales.
• Engage with visitors, respond to inquiries, and maintain a welcoming, energetic environment during peak periods.
