A Taste of What You'll Do

As a Corporate & Consumer Event Specialist, you will bring Gallo’s luxury wine portfolio to life through elevated, hospitality-driven experiences that leave a lasting impression. You’ll serve as the architect behind each event, translating client vision into thoughtfully curated engagements that reflect sophistication, precision, and a deep understanding of guest experience.

Your ability to balance multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of detail will be key to delivering best-in-class events.

You’ll also play a vital role in driving Direct-to-Consumer performance by contributing to wine sales, club acquisition, and guest engagement strategies. With a strong focus on both operational excellence and revenue impact, you’ll help create memorable experiences that build brand affinity and long-term value.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment and are passionate about luxury hospitality, this is your opportunity to showcase your creativity, leadership, and business acumen while making a measurable impact.
