We’re looking for one part-time server to lead our Monday-Wednesday night programming! Come serve sustainable and interesting natural wines alongside friendly and passionate hospitality people in one of the best neighbourhoods in Toronto. You’ll often be working solo, so we’re looking for someone who loves to be the star of the show, is comfortable commanding a room and solving problems on the fly.
If you’re interested, please send a resume, a bit about yourself and why you'd like to join the team to jobs@grapewitches.com.
What we’re looking for:
- Ideally, you’ll have 3+ years service experience and/or high confidence and comfort within a high volume environment.
- A strong love for or budding curiosity about natural wine
- The ability to confidently speak to a rotating selection of exceptional and interesting wines. As long as you’re curious and familiar with wine tasting notes in general, we can teach the rest!
- The desire to make wine approachable, informative, and fun. No stuffiness, just great wine and warm, hospitable service!
- We’re a small shop that relies on systems to make everything run smoothly. We’re looking for a team player who will participate in creating and following these systems! This will be best for you if you’re happy in a dynamic environment, where we experiment with what enables us to do our best work.
- You’ll be working solo often, so thinking on your feet, being organized, and a great communicator will help you thrive.
We’ll be serving snacks along with our great wine, so you’ll be comfortable plating food as you go!
While we are big natural wine people here, it’s not a requirement for you to be as deeply into it as we are! What we’re looking for is a passion for learning and hospitality, and we’ll provide the rest. Even if you don’t have all the requirements we’ve mentioned about, we’d still love to hear from you.
We highly (and warmly!) encourage folks from communities traditionally underrepresented in wine to apply! If you need accommodations with any part of the interviewing and application process, we’re happy to provide. We are passionately committed to equal opportunity for all employees, increasing diversity at our workplace, and providing team members with a work environment free from discrimination and harassment.

A $150 HSA spending account that kicks in after 3 months.
Paid sick days after probationary period of one month, up to 6 days. Mentorship and learning opportunities through frequent tastings, winemaker events and collaborations with juicy staff discount on delicious wines.
