Event Sales Manager


Description

City Winery strives to deliver the highest-end combined culinary and cultural experience to our customers, who are passionate in sharing our enthusiasm of wine, music, and culinary arts.

This stunning, 130-year-old historic Mill has been restored to its original romantic glory, with every detail exquisitely reimagined and crafted with the touch of rustic yet urban class that is unique to City Winery.
