Lyon Wine Tastings is hiring a resident sommelier for a part-time permanent contract (CDI).
Since 2018, we've run five-star wine tastings in a historic silk-weaver's loft in Lyon's Croix-Rousse district, walking travelers through the wines of Lyon (Beaujolais, Northern Rhône, Burgundy).

The role
You'll lead our daily "Wines of Lyon" tasting, five days a week including weekends (our busiest days are Saturday and Sunday). From October, tastings will be from 5pm to 7pm, so the shift is roughly 4pm to 8pm.
The rest of your time is spent managing incoming bookings, answering every guest review, managing wine and food stock, and running private and corporate tastings.
This is a seasonal job, where the summer is heavier than the winter. In the winter, you can expect to work with the owner Caroline on marketing, visiting vineyards, and choosing our wines.

Pay
€1,560-1,750 gross per month for 24 hours a week averaged over the year, depending on profile and experience. Monthly pay is stable all year; hours follow the season, heavier in summer, lighter in winter. You can expect cash tips, most of our clients are from North America.
