A salary of R145,000 a month, free wine, and free rent? A Californian winery just posted a dream job

We’ve officially found the best job in the world! While some workplaces frown upon drinking a whole lot of wine during the work day, there is a place where that is not only expected – but rewarded handsomely.

The team at Murphy-Goode Winery have just posted the ultimate job listing and one lucky wine-lover is going to grab themselves a pretty sweet deal. The winery is looking to hire a wine connoisseur to add to their dynamic team and is offering an incredible salary of R145,000 a month and to live rent free on the exquisite estate.

The lucky candidate who “takes life one sip at a time”, will join the famous winery in Sonoma County in the peaceful town of Healdsburg, California for a year-long contract where the candidate will learn the ins and outs of the wine business. The “dream job”, as the winery dubs it, also offers the successful candidate 30 cases of wine and free rent over the course of the contract.

In the ad posted on the winery’s website, Murphey-Goode says: “We have a job that will instantaneously catapult you into the wine stratosphere. Have you always wanted to live in breath-taking Sonoma Wine Country… with a $10,000 per month salary, and rent-free for a year? Looking for a change in your career and to pursue your passion? Do words like Cabernet, Rosé, and Chardonnay just roll off your tongue?”

The winery adds that the successful candidate will be tasked with a wide array of responsibilities and chances to learn. The candidate will “acquire strong knowledge of vineyards, winery operations, and wine in general” and will also be given the chance to shadow winemaker Dave Ready Jr., the son of one of the company’s founders, during the harvest and assist in winery operations.

Want to apply? All you need to do is send in a video of yourself explaining why you’re a ‘really Goode candidate’ for this job. Applications will then be evaluated on “role value, creativity, and design, applicable experience and skill set”.

There are a few conditions though. You must be over the age of 21, be a legal resident of the US, and be authorised to work in the US.
