Punchdown Cellars is a premium custom crush facility located in Santa Rosa, the heart of Sonoma County, California. Our 40+ client wineries focus on producing top quality, small lot wines. Together we produce world-class expressions of a wide array of varietals from all over California and focus on quality over quantity.

Interns will get the opportunity to work closely with multiple winemakers, ask questions, and see how the decisions made affect the ultimate style of the finished wines. We take pride in Punchdown being a great place to work vintage and want our team to have a safe, fun, and fulfilling harvest experience. The opportunity to gain valuable winemaking knowledge is here for you to take advantage of. Many of our interns have gone on to work full-time with our clients here.
