25.01.2022 Sending all our love to our fellow South Australians in this tough time. We are going to be closed for the next 6 days so unfortunately if you had a booking with us it is now cancelled. We are so so so sorry! Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you have any questions or if there is anything at all we can do to help you.

24.01.2022 We are fully booked and all set! And now we wait...

24.01.2022 We are looking for a rare gem to join our quirky bunch here at Kies Family Wines Quite often people tell us how lucky we are to work in the beautiful Barossa ...Valley and have a bit of banter with people over a few wines all day! We absolutely agree there is no better place to work in the world! Our cellar door is quite often at capacity so we are looking for someone to help us to do the extraordinary! Our mission statement is: Striving always to be the friendliest and the best cellar door sales in the Barossa and we need help to make sure that we can keep up the level of service. So we are looking for a rare gem to join our team: Essential: - A passion for wine: An understanding of wine and the wine making process is great; we are looking for a wine geek to join our family of wine geeks. - Banter: You must have a good sense of humour. The ability to make people laugh is a bonus! - A small business mindset: One day you might be serving a cellar door full of people, and the next you might be preparing export orders, or helping in the cafe. This is a bit of everything type situation. - The want to be flat out all day: We don’t have spare time to stand around, the place can be packed from 9am so you should be comfortable with large groups and find it easy to operate under pressure. We love the atmosphere so we are looking for someone who does too! Nice to have (not essential): - Experience with social media for business - Forklift licence - Wine appreciation course completion To apply for this casual, part-time role with scope to grow as our business continues to grow, PM us a 1 minute video showing us why you are perfect for the job!
