Champagne Bar Server

This summer, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is launching an exclusive pop-up champagne bar — a curated experience built around exceptional bubbles and thoughtfully paired bites.

As our Champagne Bar Server, you are the authority in the glass. You'll guide guests through a focused selection of prestige and grower champagnes, create genuine connections over shared discovery, and deliver the kind of unhurried, knowledgeable service that turns a single pour into a lasting impression.

This is a role for someone who genuinely loves champagne — its regions, its producers, its stories — and who finds real satisfaction in sharing that passion with curious guests.

Join us in turning moments into special memories at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
