What do you call a wine hangover? The grape depression. If you’re one of the very few people out there who thinks this is funny, then keep on reading, because you might have just landed your dream job! The Lobby is on the lookout for a Junior Sommelier.


The Lobby

The beating heart of Hotel V is The Lobby , an unique location where Amsterdam residents and internationals come together. The Lobby stands for good food, good drinks and pure hospitality. The best city vibes come together at the bar, at the table, on your plate and in your glass. The Lobby has an international kitchen, where both a la carte and a menu up to 4 courses is served, with a constantly changing wine selection. There are 80 seats and the restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.


The Winelist

The changing wine list is strongly oriented towards mainly old world wines. The wine list includes 120 different types of wine in low circulation from often smaller wineries, of which 25 wines can also be ordered by the glass. For the truly intimate, there is the 'dirty book' with various trouvailles for great prices.


About the job

For The Lobby we are looking for a Junior Sommelier with extensive wine knowledge and a great passion for the job.

  • You are co-responsible for selecting and recommending wines to guests;

  • You will be co-tasting and working with the Wine Manager;

  • You will be responsible for wine management: stock take, orders and storage management;

  • You will maintain the wine list;

  • You will organize and provide in-house training to staff;

About you

We are looking for an enthusiastic Junior Sommelier with solid relevant work experience. You will be responsible for the evening as far as wine is concerned, so we expect complete independence. You will give guests wine and food advice and have no problem working in the service when necessary; our core team consists of professionals with passion and experience and there is a nice, informal working atmosphere. Ensuring, improving and continuing the quality and service is a matter of course for you.

Please get in touch if:

What's in it for you

  • In addition to a great team, we offer a suitable salary according to the collective labour agreement for hospitality;

  • A monthly benefits budget with a total value of 300 euros per year (based on a full-time contract), which you can spend on your choice for gym membership, bike rental, food delivery at home and many more; the choice is all yours!

  • 35% discount at selected massage parlours in Amsterdam;

  • Travel allowance based on the distance between home and work (min. 15 km);

  • An open and informal company with legendary (yes really!) staff parties, Christmas parties, get-togethers;

  • Discover Hotel V through the eyes of our guests: a night of sleep after your probationary period together with the love of your life! Or your mother, of course;

  • Friends & family discount on rooms and staff discount in the shops and our restaurants

  • A drink at the bar after your shift with your colleagues (or on your own if you need a moment);

  • Opportunities for development and growth with plenty of room for individual contributions and ideas, possibilities to take part in trainings and courses;

  • Last, but definitely not least; have fun!
