TL;DR - We are a brand-new wine bar opening in the second week of November, smack in the middle of picturesque Seaside, Florida, and are looking to build a front-of-house team of remarkable people who not only love food and wine but love to share their knowledge with others.

LONG STORY - We’re looking for team members who love chatting with others and have some wine, craft beer, or spirits knowledge but, more importantly, have a desire and ability to learn a lot more about the complex and beautiful world of wine, whiskey, and wheels of cheese. (There will be more than cheese, but everyone loves an alliteration.)

In the hustle and bustle of 30A, we are working to build a space that is a respite from the chaos and brings people together to celebrate the best life has to offer. Personable and positive team members will thrive in this position because even if guests come in grumpy or flustered, a smile, champagne, and sushi are sure to lift the mood.
