Job Overview
Join the team at Puddleduck Wines, a family-owned boutique vineyard and winery nestled in Tasmania's stunning Coal River Valley, just minutes from the historic township of Richmond.
As we move into an exciting new chapter under new ownership, we're looking for a passionate and hands-on Cellar Door Sales Manager to support our team and help deliver memorable, high-quality experiences for every guest who visits.
This is a wonderful opportunity to play a key role in a much-loved Tasmanian venue, sharing our wines and story while helping the business continue to grow in a thoughtful and sustainable way.
The Role
Puddleduck is a relaxed and welcoming destination for locals and visitors alike, offering wine tastings, lunches, events and special occasions in a picturesque vineyard setting.
As Cellar Door Sales Manager, you'll take the lead in the day-to-day running of the cellar door, working closely with your team and remaining present on the floor. You'll support great service, encourage product knowledge and help create an environment where guests feel genuinely welcome — and where strong sales outcomes follow naturally from positive experiences.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and grow the Wine Club
- Help drive sales in a natural and guest-focused way, enhancing the overall experience
- Deliver warm, engaging tasting experiences that reflect the Puddleduck brand
- Support the daily operations of the cellar door, ensuring smooth and consistent service
- Be actively involved on the floor — hosting tastings, engaging with guests and supporting the team
- Encourage and guide the team to build confidence in wine knowledge, service and sales
- Contribute ideas and initiatives to support visitation, revenue and customer loyalty
- Work closely with the Restaurant Manager to determine staffing requirements and cover when required
- Manage inventory, stock control and general operational requirements
- Support the planning and delivery of events and special experiences
- Foster a positive, fun and welcoming team environment
