Who We Are

We are one of Canada's largest and oldest wine companies with a rich heritage in quality winemaking.

We produce some of Canada's most recognized brands and offer our teammates a challenging and rewarding employment experience.



Lead guest experiences at one of the Okanagan's most recognized and beloved wineries -- Gray Monk Estate Winery. Nestled in Lake Country overlooking Okanagan Lake, Gray Monk is known for its welcoming hospitality, breathtaking views, and wines that have defined the region's reputation for quality and craftsmanship.

We're searching for an Estate Manager to oversee all visitor operations, including The Lookout Restaurant, Retail, and Guest Experience teams. This role calls for a hospitality professional who blends business acumen with genuine warmth -- someone who thrives on creating memorable guest experiences while leading with care, accountability, and a drive for results.

Reporting to the VP of Estate Wine Group for Andrew Peller Limited, the Estate Manager will oversee a talented team including the Retail & Experience Manager, Chef, and Restaurant and Retail Supervisors. Together, you'll bring to life Gray Monk's legacy of excellence and the company's core values: Commit to Excellence, Drive to Succeed, Foster Belonging, Honour Our Roots, and Own It.

What this teammate will be responsible for -

Lead all guest-facing operations to deliver exceptional hospitality across the estate, including the restaurant, retail shop, and tasting room. Partner with the Chef and Restaurant Supervisor to maintain fine dining standards and profitability at The Lookout Restaurant. Develop and execute annual business and financial plans for restaurant, retail, and tourism performance. Build, coach, and inspire a high-performing team committed to excellence, collaboration, and guest satisfaction. Work with marketing and regional teams to deliver brand-aligned promotions, events, and experiences that attract and delight guests. Ensure safety, cleanliness, and compliance with all health, licensing, and workplace standards.

What this teammate will bring -

5+ years of progressive leadership in hospitality, fine dining, or winery operations. Proven ability to lead teams, manage budgets, and drive results in a fast-paced, guest-focused environment. Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to inspire, coach, and develop others. Business acumen and comfort managing P&L and operational performance. Wine knowledge or certification (e.g., WSET Level 1-2) preferred. A passion for creating exceptional guest experiences that reflect the best of the Okanagan.

At Gray Monk Estate Winery, you'll lead a property with deep roots in the Okanagan and a loyal following built on decades of hospitality excellence. Backed by the stability and values of Andrew Peller Limited, one of Canada's most respected wine companies, you'll be part of a culture that values people as much as performance.

Our total compensation package is built using competitive, local market data and reflects the skills and experience needed for each role. In some cases, we may consider compensation above the posted range for exceptional candidates. Our total rewards include performance incentives, an annual bonus, employee discounts and product gift cards, comprehensive employer-paid health benefits, a share purchase program, RRSP matching, and more.
