Our People are Center Stage

In the words of our CEO & Founder, Michael Dorf, ”We are all working at City Winery because we love music, we love wine, and we love people who make up the community around these shared passions for life.”

Our mission is to provide a gathering place of culinary and cultural arts in a beautiful and comfortable setting that celebrates life and provides pleasure to all who enter. We’ve distilled this into an everlasting three-word mantra which we live by: Indulge Your Senses™.

Core Values

Conscious Company

From donating our spaces to giving away wine, the Company partners with many non-profit organizations to do our part. Our fully functioning wineries integrate an innovative tap model, reduce sulfites and preservatives, and have worked in various ways to consciously reduce our carbon footprint and bottle waste.

Infinite Potential

Starting out in entry level positions and managers, through executive level roles, many of our team members have successfully advanced their careers internally. City Winery-ians are the experts in what we do and we love to see people grow along with their vision for the company.

Diversity & Inclusion

We are dedicated to embracing diversity and strive to create conditions that provide everyone with an equal opportunity to thrive. Bringing your whole and genuine self to work is the version of you we love to see.
