This is a fantastic opportunity to take the lead in a vibrant, wine-focused environment — perfect for someone who loves hospitality, enjoys connecting with people, and has a knack for creating memorable customer experiences.

About Us

Located on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, The Merricks Store is a much-loved destination for food, wine and relaxed charm. Alongside our bustling café and restaurant, we proudly operate a cellar door showcasing Elgee Park and Baillieu wines, as well as a curated selection of other standout local producers.

Our wine tasting offering captures a large selection of the Peninsula's finest wines — it's about sharing stories, building on relationships, and creating a welcoming space for both wine lovers and newcomers alike.

This is a hands-on role where your energy, passion for hospitality, and ability to drive sales will shine.

  • Confidence in using systems and learning new processes quickly
  • A warm, engaging personality and strong sense of initiative

  • Skilled in bringing out the best in the team
  • Genuine love of people and a love of our industry

  • A supportive, close-knit team who love what they do
  • Daytime hours only — no regular nights, however occasional evening work for wine related events
  • A beautiful work setting in one of the Peninsula's most iconic venues
  • Continue to build relationships with some of the region's finest wines and producers
  • Being part of the leadership team
  • Open to and supportive of new creative ideas
