Love working with wine, but ready to leave the late nights behind?
Terroir Port Macquarie offers something a little different — the opportunity to build a career around great wine, spirits and food while working shopping centre hours, with no late nights and a guaranteed weekend day off.
We're looking for a hands-on Store Manager to become the face of Terroir Port Macquarie.
You might already manage a wine or liquor store, or you could be an experienced sommelier, cellar-door professional, hospitality manager or assistant manager ready to take the next step.
This is very much a working manager role.
You'll spend your time on the shop floor talking with customers, sharing your knowledge, recommending products and running the day-to-day store.
As the business grows, you'll also have the opportunity to build and develop the team around you.

WSET qualifications or other wine education would be highly regarded, but experience, knowledge and genuine passion matter just as much.

Terroir is more than a bottle shop.
We're creating a destination where customers can discover interesting wines, premium spirits, craft beer, artisan food and products from great producers — supported by genuine knowledge, personalised service and a sense of discovery.
Behind Terroir is the wider Gowings business, providing the support and resources of an established Australian company while we continue to grow the Terroir concept.
If you love wine, love people and like the idea of making both part of your working day — without making them part of your working night — we'd love to hear from you.
