We are looking for wine lovers to be our summer Wine Ambassadors. You'll share your passion for wine with guests, tell the story of what makes Central Otago truly special, and help create memorable wine experiences.
You'll guide guests through our wine range, host informal tastings, recommend wines with confidence, and deliver a level of service that reflects our reputation as a destination wine experience.
At Kinross we know it's our people that make us special! Proudly awarded the Employer of the Year 2025, and Qualmark Wine Tourism Business of the Year 2024, Kinross is recognised as the best wine experience in the country. Our Kinross Cellar Door is a destination for Central Otago wines where we represent five amazing wineries - Hawkshead, High Garden, Kinross, Valli & Wild Irishman.
We offer our staff:
You'll need:
Please apply with your CV and cover letter, giving details of your qualifications and experience. Please give details of your right to work in NZ including visa type and expiry. You will need your own transport, as we are located in the vineyards outside of town, and there is no public transport available.

Experience wines from five local wine producers at our Cellar Door, dine at our Bistro, relax for an afternoon by the fire in our wine garden, or even stay amongst the vines in one of our vineyard cottages. Come experience an authentic slice of Central Otago, or if you can't visit, get some beautiful wine delivered direct to your door!
Kinross is a family run business in the heart of the Gibbston wine region. The vineyards we represent (along with our own Kinross label) are our friends and neighbours, so it is our absolute pleasure to offer some of their finest wines to you.
We are focused on providing an authentic vineyard, hotel and gastronomical experience, where visitors feel relaxed and enjoy tasting and exploring our corner of paradise.
