Trecini Winery is looking for an experienced, motivated Independent Wine Sales Representative to help grow our brand throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and/or the Napa, Vacaville & Yolo County markets.

This is a part-time 1099 independent contractor opportunity and is an ideal fit for someone who is already working in the wine, beer, spirits, or broader alcohol industry and has established relationships with restaurants, wine shops, retailers, and other accounts.

We’re looking for someone who wants to add a quality, family-owned California wine brand to their existing portfolio and earn additional income while doing what they already do best: selling wine and building relationships.

About Trecini Winery

Trecini is a family-owned California winery rooted in generations of grape growing and farming. Our wines are estate grown and crafted with a focus on sustainable farming, low-intervention winemaking, hand harvesting, and no added sugar.

We are a growing brand with an entrepreneurial spirit, a strong family story, and wines that are earning attention from both consumers and the trade.

We’re looking for sales representatives who believe in the story behind the bottle and can introduce Trecini to the right accounts.
