IT Helpdesk Technician II
O’Neill Vintners & Distillers was founded in 2004 with a simple idea from our founder, Jeff O’Neill, that great wines should be enjoyed by all. We believe those wines must be of exceptional quality centered around our core belief that doing the right thing for our employees, consumers, partners, and the planet is key to a sustainable future. As our family-owned business has grown, so has our belief in business as a force for good—we are proud to be an industry leader in sustainability and a Certified B Corporation.
We are one of California's largest wineries, with operations in Larkspur, Sonoma, Paso Robles, and Parlier/Reedley, CA. Our award-winning portfolio of consumer brands includes Line 39, FitVine, Harken Chardonnay, Rabble, Charles Woodson’s Intercept, Robert Hall, Allegro Cellars, Ram’s Gate, Wines of Substance, ViNO, and BrandyLab.
