Role Description Suhru & Lieb Vineyards is looking for an experienced, passionate Wine Educator to join our growing team on the North Fork of Long Island, NY. This is not an entry-level tasting room position. We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in wine knowledge, exceptional hospitality skills, and the confidence to engage with everyone—from first-time visitors to seasoned collectors.

\n

This role combines fast-paced tasting room service with the opportunity to lead private tastings for our Wine Club members, VIP guests, and private groups. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable serving a busy tasting room as they are confidently discussing wine styles, winemaking, food pairings, the North Fork AVA, and the stories behind our wines. This is an in-person sales & hospitality.
