Wine Attendant

Overview
At the Estero Inn, we hope to combine the charm of a boutique hotel with the elegance of a high-end wine bar. Our space offers an intimate, curated experience for guests looking to relax, indulge, and unwind—whether enjoying a glass of wine overlooking the water or settling into one of our beautifully appointed guest rooms. We’re seeking a polished, versatile attendant who can deliver warm, expert hospitality across both the bar and hotel front desk.

This position blends the responsibilities of a wine bar attendant with those of a boutique hotel front desk associate. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable recommending a wine pairing as they are welcoming hotel guests and assisting with check-in. We will assist in getting you acquainted with our curated wine selection during training as well.

• Monitor and manage wine inventory, including restocking and proper storage
• Ensure cleanliness and organization of bar areas in line with luxury standards
• Operate POS systems, process transactions, and handle tabs accurately
• Collaborate with kitchen and hotel staff to provide cohesive, high-end service

Guest Services Duties:

• Welcome hotel guests, check them in efficiently, and provide information about the property and surrounding area
• Handle guest inquiries and special requests with professionalism and care
• Maintain accurate room bookings, availability, and billing through the hotel’s reservation system
• Provide concierge-level service, including local recommendations, transportation coordination, and guest support
• Uphold security and privacy protocols to ensure a safe and comfortable guest experience

Requirements

• Prior experience in upscale hospitality, wine service, or hotel front desk roles (2 years preferred)
• Exceptional communication skills and a warm, approachable demeanor
• Strong multitasking ability and organizational skills
• Tech-savvy with experience using POS and hotel reservation systems (e.g., Cloudbeds, eviivo, etc.)
• Poised, polished, and confident in fast-paced, guest-facing situations
• Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays
• Must be of legal age to serve alcohol and comply with local licensing laws

Perks:

• Work in a stunning waterfront setting with a boutique luxury atmosphere
• Wine education, staff tastings, and service training
• Discounted stays, food, and beverages
• Opportunities for growth within a high-end hospitality group
