Winery Event Sales / Events Supervisor

Job Purpose:
The Event Sales & Events Supervisor is a hands-on, revenue-driven leader who owns the full event lifecycle at Doffo Winery—from prospecting and closing sales to planning, executing, and physically setting up and tearing down events.

You’ll bring strong sales acumen, operational leadership, and an entrepreneurial mindset to the role, taking full ownership of event success, client satisfaction, and team performance. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, takes pride in rolling up their sleeves, and turns every event into an opportunity to grow the business and create lifelong guests.

• Conduct site visits, tastings, walkthroughs, and planning meetings to finalize event details and ensure flawless execution.
  
• Collaborate with vendors and internal teams to ensure everyone is aligned and fully prepared for event day.
  

Event Execution & Leadership

• Take full ownership of event execution by leading staff, coordinating vendors, managing timelines, and problem-solving in real time.
  
• Supervise all day-of operations including ceremony direction, beverage service, guest flow, and post-event breakdown.
  
• Maintain a hands-on leadership style—actively participating in event setup, execution, and teardown to ensure consistency and quality.
  
• Schedule, train, and supervise event staff to ensure proper support, performance, and alignment with Doffo Winery standards.
  
• Manage staffing schedules and timecards to meet event needs while staying within labor budgets.
