Harvest at Three Sticks is a unique and exciting experience as an intern because you will have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in our winemaking practices, while deepening your understanding of our vineyards, crush, and fermentation management philosophies. Since we are a small production team, harvest interns often are working one on one with our full-time staff members, as well as spending time with fellow interns who travel to work with us from all over the world. What makes our wines so special are not only those who are drawn to vinify it, but the vineyards themselves. Three Sticks is an estate winery with six distinct vineyard sites located all throughout Sonoma county. This allows us the opportunity to make Pinot noir and Chardonnay from a slew of our unique terroirs and from some of the most iconic vineyards in the region.

Winemaking is an incredible labor of love, and it is what allows us to grow our team during the busy season and offer our internship program to select candidates. Typically, our harvest interns start around early August, and continue through early to mid-October, depending on the vintage. While we do not offer housing directly, we do have many contacts in Sonoma, Napa, and Petaluma who generously offer up a room for rent during this time. Additionally, we recommend interns browse the share-housing websites, and reach out to us with any questions when pursuing housing here for harvest.
