  • Collaborate with the sommelier team on seasonal updates, tastings, and events—plus contribute to the Aalia Wine Bar opening.
What you bring
  • Strong floor experience in quality restaurants or wine bars (fine-dining experience highly regarded).
  • Solid wine knowledge and guest communication; ability to perform under high volume without losing polish.
  • Current NSW RSA and Australian work rights (required).
