2026 Harvest Cellar Intern - San Simeon Estates
About The Position
At Riboli Family Wines, we've spent over a century perfecting our craft—and we're just getting started. As a four-generation, family-owned winery and one of America's fastest-growing wine producers, we create brands that people genuinely love, including Stella Rosa, Spritz Del Conte, San Simeon, and San Antonio. We've been recognized as American Winery of the Year, but what drives us isn't awards—it's the joy our wines bring to tables, celebrations, and everyday moments. Rooted in California and committed to quality, sustainability, and innovation, we're proud to honor our heritage while shaping the future of winemaking. Role Summary: Riboli Family Winery is offering Part-Time and Full-Time seasonal internships for our 2026 harvest season at our San Simeon Estate, a micro-winery focused on small-batch, high-quality wines.

Interns will support all aspects of the winemaking process—from grape receiving and fermentation to barrel work and lab sampling—alongside our dedicated, tight-knit team. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in premium, sustainable winemaking. Internships start as soon as July 2026 and span through December 2026.
