A Taste of What You'll Do
As a Seasonal Lab Aide, you will support the Chemistry group during a critical and fast‑paced part of the production cycle. Working under direct supervision, you will provide routine laboratory assistance that helps ensure grape samples are processed accurately, efficiently, and on time. Your efforts will directly support analytical workflows that inform winemaking and production decisions.
In this role, you will assist with grape processing activities such as de‑stemming, juicing, and grinding, while also helping organize, label, log in, and prepare samples for analysis.
