Job Description

Company Summary

If you have taken a moment to unwind with a bottle of beer, toast with glass of wine, or celebrate with a cocktail, chances are that you have shared that moment with Constellation Brands. We are passionate producers of iconic beer, wine and spirits brands that consumers love. From Corona Extra to Robert Mondavi Wines and Lingua Franca, we produce over 100 premium brands with sales in nearly 100 countries, making us the number one multi-category beverage alcohol company in the U.S.

Lingua Franca was inspired by an extraordinary vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills of the Willamette Valley. Founded in 2015 by Master Sommelier Larry Stone and Dominique Lafon, an iconic producer of Burgundy, and mentor to many winemakers in the Willamette Valley. Our young and talented winemaking team provides a place for you to contribute your experience towards our continued growth.

Position Summary

We are seeking an individual who is looking for opportunities to gain more experience in the field of enology and hands on winemaking. The ideal candidates will have a passion for knowledge and a willingness to learn, with a background in viticulture, enology, or interest in the Wine Industry.
