Winemaker

A winemaker is responsible for turning harvested grapes into finished wines. That may sound pretty straightforward, but winemaking is a highly complex process that requires creativity, adaptability, hard work and scientific rigour. It’s a hands-on role, which is often far less glamorous than you may expect, but it can also be very rewarding.

Winery worker / cellar hand

This is the perfect entry-level job for anyone that dreams of getting into the wine trade. It’s a physically demanding role, which often involves menial tasks, but you can pick up valuable skills and experience. You’ll often meet inspiring people too, from celebrated winemakers to renowned viticulturists, so it can suit anyone seeking mentorship.

Beer Sommelier

A beer sommelier is a trained expert that specialises in beer styles, brewing methods and food pairings. The role is sometimes referred to as a Cicerone, particularly in the United States, or perhaps a beer specialist. It’s not as common as a wine sommelier, but the field is growing rapidly.

Bartender

Bartenders serve drinks at bars, clubs and other licensed premises. It sounds pretty simple: take orders, prepare drinks and hand them out. However, elite bartenders do so much more than that.
