About Us
Alfalfa Farm Cellars is a new, multi-faceted beverage destination in Topsfield, MA featuring a winery, distillery, brewery, and taproom experience.
We are building something thoughtful, high-quality, and grounded in both craft and hospitality—with a mix of estate-grown wines and carefully selected contracted production.
The Role
We’re hiring a Winemaker / Production Lead to take ownership of our entire wine program—from vineyard to bottle—while also supporting broader production efforts across the property.
You Will Be Responsible For
- Estate vineyard coordination and harvest planning
- Fruit sourcing and contract wine management
- Fermentation, cellar work, and aging programs
- Blending, stabilization, and bottling execution
- Inventory and production planning
- Compliance and recordkeeping (TTB, MA regulations)
Additionally, You Will
- Support distillery production processes (non-distillation)
- Assist in cross-functional production needs across winery, brewery, and distillery
- Help establish systems, standards, and workflows from the ground up
What This Job Actually Is
- Hands-on production work (this is not a desk job)
- A small team environment where everyone contributes
- A role that blends craft, operations, and problem solving
- A chance to shape a wine program from day one
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in winemaking and cellar operations (New England experience a plus)
- Strong understanding of fermentation, blending, and production techniques
- Ability to manage both estate and contract wine programs
- Comfortable working in a startup environment with shifting priorities
- Organized, detail-oriented, and accountable
- Willing to get your hands dirty—literally
Bonus If You Have
- Experience with hybrid beverage operations (wine + spirits or beer)
- Vineyard management familiarity
- Experience setting up production systems from scratch
Compensation
Salary: $65,000 – $75,000, based on experience
Significant opportunity to grow with the business
Why This Role
This is a chance to be part of building something from the ground up—not stepping into an already-built system.
You’ll have real ownership, real impact, and the ability to shape both the product and the process.
