Cellar Door Hosts

About the role

Reefton Distilling Co. is looking for warm, hard-working hosts to join the Guest Experience team at our Cellar Door. This is where visitors from all over the world meet Reefton — its history, its people and the premium spirits we make here on the West Coast. You'll be the face of Reefton Distilling Co., sharing our story and creating memorable experiences for guests.

Fixed term contract: 4 days a week with weekend work required. From October to April. We are flexible with the start and finish date.

For the right person, there’s a genuine pathway to a full-time role.

Key responsibilities

• Welcome visitors to our Cellar Door and make them feel at home
• Guide tastings of our premium products
• Host distillery tours across both of our sites
• Share the story of Reefton, our distillery and our products
• Handle retail sales on our POS system
• Process online orders and answer phone and email enquiries
• Keep the Cellar Door, lounge and storage areas spotless

About you

• A warm, friendly manner and real pride in Reefton and what it offers
• Great communication and storytelling skills
• A positive attitude, reliability, and the ability to work on your own and in a team
• A willingness to learn our spirits inside out and talk about them with confidence
• A full, clean driver's licence (you'll drive our vehicle between sites)
• A clear police check
• A Duty Manager's Certificate — or the willingness to get one once you start (we cover the cost; must be 21 years of age to obtain a certificate)
• Hospitality or retail experience is a bonus, but not essential

Full training is provided. What matters most is the right attitude and the ability to pick things up quickly.
