Independent Wine Consultant at Vinera Wine Society

**Independent Wine Consultant - Commission Only**

Turn your love of wine into a career worth traveling for. Vinera Wines is looking for passionate, people-driven Wine Consultants to join our team in California - and eventually, at the source: the vineyards of Europe.

The opportunity no one else offers: take your clients to Europe. At Vinera, our top consultants don't just sell wine - they lead curated wine and food experiences at the wineries where our wines are made. You bring your clients. You travel together. You become the person who gave them the trip of a lifetime. That relationship does not churn.

About the role

This is not a side hustle. It is a genuine path for someone who wants to build a real business in the wine industry - with full flexibility, premium products to stand behind, and one of the most attractive commission structures in the market. As a Vinera Wine Consultant, you will host in-home wine tastings, connect with wine lovers at private events, and build lasting client relationships that generate recurring income. You work independently, set your own schedule, and grow at your own pace. And when the time is right, you take your best clients to Europe - visit the wineries and meet the winemakers.

Who thrives here

Our most successful Wine Consultants tend to share a few things in common:

• Background in fine dining, hospitality, or food and beverage

• Genuinely love meeting people and building relationships
• Want a real career in wine, not just a commission check
• Excited to travel internationally and share that with clients
• Value independence and building something of their own

• European tours: 10% commission on every client you bring on a Vinera travel experience
