We will as well directly import Italian wines from small but exclusive producer put together with the rest of our dinks list.

    Wages will reflect on your experience, we will invest in further development for long term collaboration and growth. Estonian and English are our main languages used but seeing we are dealing international guests additional is seen as a plus. We can supply accommodation on the premises as well as meals during shifts.
