Would you like to take your passion for wine beyond a sniff, a swirl and a sip? Do you have an appreciation for the labor and patience that goes into producing a quality bottle of wine? Would you consider a career that involves getting your hands, dirty, wet and wine-stained on a regular basis? Then cleanse your palate and pack your jeans and join Joel Goodwillie and his wife Kris, owners of Wind River Cellars. Learn how to become a winemaker and manage a winery on a career mentorship at their beautiful winery in Husom, Washington, located in the spectacular Columbia River Gorge area, just an hour from Portland, Oregon. As with any business, there are challenges and rewards. “We cannot control the weather or the economic climate,” shares Joel. “But it is great to work for yourself.” Any plans to expand? “Absolutely not. It is kind of like going from two kids to three. You need a bigger house, bigger car and another college fund. I’m happy with where the winery is today.” While on your Vintner VocationVacations® dream job holiday, Joel and Kris will mentor you in some of all of the following activities:
