One day back in 1968, as Robert Jean de Vogüé at the time President of Moët & Chandon, was attending a distributors’ conference in California, he inadvertently found himself in the wrong room. Members of the Wine Institute of California were gathered there, discussing, and tasting. The wrong room turned out to be the right room. An idea was born: CHANDON would again lead the way as the first champagne house led sparkling outpost in the USA. Today, CHANDON California, as part of LVMH – Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, pushes the limits of the state of the art to produce sparkling wines that are US market leaders.

Chandon is excited to announce we have a Tractor Driver position now available! Join the Winegrowing team and help support the lands that give us our excellent products. You will work out of our Chandon Carneros Winegrowing Office in Sonoma, CA.

As a Tractor Driver, you will operate tractors and/or all-terrain vehicles (ATV) to take care of all vineyard property. Your priority is to operate professionally and safely – maintaining relationships and equipment properly. You will support vineyard farming practices and growing cycles while also leading irrigation to ensure successful harvests. You will lead soil and canopy activities to ensure vineyards are supported and ready to yield grapes season after season. You ensure open communication with your vineyard supervisor and other team members for smooth operation of our system.

You are someone who prides themselves on efficiency and execution when it comes to vineyard activities. You are a champion of safety and ensure you are following all procedures to ensure everyone’s safety. You have prior experience as a Tractor Driver and have worked in a vineyard. You are a Spanish and English speaker/writer. You can read and can make quick mathematical calculations.

We offer competitive wages, incentives and benefits including heavily subsidized medical coverage and life insurances for you and your family; a 401k matching program; generous wine allocation and discounts; an employee assistance program, a regular produce box, lifestyle, home internet and phone reimbursements (benefits and perks may vary by contract type).
