Sommelier – New European Restaurant
Tapavino Group | Sydney CBD
Full Time - Salary

About Us
Since 2012, the award-winning Tapavino Group has been a Sydney staple,. Now, we’re stepping into bold new territory with our first European-inspired restaurant, set to open in one of Sydney’s most iconic buildings at the heart of the CBD. After 13 years of solely working with Spanish wines, this venue will fuse Europe’s best wine regions, as well as Australia.

The Opportunity
We’re seeking an exceptional Sommelier to be part of the wine team, working within our current venues and then transitioning into the new venue around May/ June this year.

• Operating Hours: Monday to Saturday (closed Sundays)

The Role
You’ll be part of the driving force behind a fine dining destination with an exceptional wine list. However, after running multiple venues with wine lists of around 500 wines, this venue will be around 100. As a Somm, half the job is administration, and less wine means your head space can be focused on sales rather than office work.

Why Tapavino Group?

• Join a proven restaurant group with a loyal Sydney following and a legacy of success.

• Work with an owner who’s been in the game for 30 years, treats staff like family, and still has team members from day one, 13 years ago.

• No faceless investors here—just a passionate leader who prioritizes quality over squeezed margins.

• Enjoy 50% off across all our venues.

• Added Bonuses based on numbers and KPI's being met.

Why This Role?
Opportunities like this are rare. This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to be part of an exceptional wine team in a culturally iconic Sydney building. If you’re ready to make waves, we want to hear from you.

At least 2 years working in a similar role.

• Proven skills in team training, wine tasting and masterclasses with staff and customers

• Sharp attention to detail and an unrelenting pursuit of perfection.

• Expertise in cost control, supplier relationships, and KPI financials on sales

• Your candidacy is helped if you’ve worked in hatted or award-winning restaurants here or overseas.
