Wine Manager – New Opening Summer 2026
Location: Central London
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000
A new restaurant opening in Central London in Summer 2026 is looking for a Wine Manager to take ownership of the wine offer from day one. The role will work closely with the Head of Wine and the wider restaurant team to build a list that fits the concept and keeps things relevant, interesting and commercially sound. This isn't a formal or traditional setup - the focus is on personality, knowledge and creating a great guest experience without the stiffness.
The Role:
Lead the wine programme on site and take ownership of the list
Work closely with the Head of Wine on selection and direction
Manage supplier relationships and buying
Deliver staff training and build wine confidence across the team
Collaborate with the kitchen on pairings
Be present on the floor, engaging with guests and driving standards
The Person:
Experience in a quality restaurant or hotel environment
Strong wine knowledge with WSET Level 3 or similar
Comfortable leading a team and setting the tone on the floor
Engaging, approachable and confident with guests
Creative but commercially aware when building lists
New opening experience helps, but isn't essential
