Seeking Wine Industry Job After Leaving Academia
Hi! I currently reside in the Napa Valley and would like to find a job here. I have an academic background (B.S. and M.S. in biology, Ph.D. in plant and soil science with concentration in viticulture and enology). Between my Ph.D., post-doc, and a couple internships, and 1 year in hospitality, I have been working in the wine industry for 8 years. I made the leap from academic February 2018 by first taking a hospitality job, and now I am interning in viticulture and enology (vineyard and wine science).
My last day of work is Nov. 20th, and I want to make the transition to a rewarding, full time job. I am happy to continue on in enology but am also intrigued by grower relations. Do any of you have some good connections? Thanks!

Hi! In Missouri, there's the Wine and Grape board for networking. There must be something similar in California. Have you reached out to them?

Hi! Can you say a little more about what you’d be interested in learning more about through our contacts? Or can you share a few job titles that fall within “grower relations” so I can look through my contacts for someone who might be able to offer advice to you?
