Group Sommelier - Bambini Trust Group

About Us

Bambini Group is behind some of Sydney's most loved dining destinations — Bambini Trust, a true institution in the Sydney CBD, and La Riviera, nestled in the legal precinct on Phillip Street. We're expanding, and this November we're opening our third venue, Ruby's, in Double Bay (opening begining of November 2026).

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Group Sommelier to take ownership of the wine program across all three restaurants. This is very much a floor-first role — we want someone who lives for the guest interaction and the theatre of great service, not someone buried in a back office. Administrative work is capped at 1–2 days per week; the rest of your time will be spent where it matters most — on the floor, with the team, and with our guests.

Key responsibilities:

• Curate and oversee wine lists across Bambini Trust, La Riviera, and Ruby's

• Train and mentor floor staff across all three venues to elevate wine knowledge and service standards

• Sell wine on the floor and build genuine relationships with guests

• Deliver exceptional, memorable customer interactions night after night

• Keep wine lists current, well-balanced, and reflective of each venue's identity

• Limited administrative duties (stocktake, ordering, supplier relationships) — 1–2 days per week

About You

• Proven experience as a sommelier, ideally with group or multi-venue experience

• Deep wine knowledge with the confidence and warmth to share it on the floor

• Impeccable presentation and professionalism

• A natural at building rapport with guests and leading by example with staff

• Genuinely passionate about hospitality, not just wine

What We Offer

• Great hours and great pay

• The opportunity to shape the wine identity of three distinct venues, including a brand-new opening

• A genuine career path within an established and growing Sydney hospitality group

• Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate
