About Us:

Founded in 1945, Mount Eden Vineyards is a historic, world-renowned boutique wine estate perched at 2,000 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains. For 80 years, we have focused on producing world-class estate-bottled Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon. We are a small, dedicated team running a historic property, and we are looking for a reliable professional to manage our administrative and financial foundation.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a reliable, highly organized Part-Time Bookkeeper / Office Associate to manage our day-to-day financial data entry and administrative operations. You will be a vital utility player reporting directly to the Director of Operations.

Office Coordination:

Manage incoming phone calls and emails professionally and in a timely manner; maintain precise physical and digital filing systems.

Estate Operations & Inventory:

Help maintain a clean, welcoming office and tasting room environment (light tidying/organization); monitor and stock wine inventory in the tasting room.

Wine Club & Event Support:

Assist with twice-yearly wine club packing and pick-ups; manage digital customer profiles, billing updates, and occasional customer event coordination.

Requirements:

Experience:

Minimum 2+ years of current, professional bookkeeping experience (Required).

Software Proficiency:

Strong comfort level with accounting software platforms and Microsoft Office. Experience with Centerpoint, Commerce7, or Tock is a major plus (training provided).

Reliability & Communication:

Exceptional verbal and written responsiveness. Punctuality and reliable follow-through are strictly required.

Physical Ability:

Must be able to comfortably lift and move a case of wine (approx. 45 lbs) and stand for extended periods during occasional events.

Logistics:

Must have reliable transportation capable of commuting to our historic mountaintop estate in Saratoga, CA, and be at least 21 years of age.

Certification:

Must obtain a California Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Certification within 2 weeks of hire (Mount Eden will cover the cost of training).

Benefits:
