CHEF SOMMELIER (H/F) CAP KAROSO

Cap Karoso – Sumba Island, Indonesia
Seasonal Position (April to October 2026)

Cap Karoso isn’t just another resort. It’s a creative playground.
Named Best Resort in Indonesia (Condé Nast Traveler 2025), awarded 1 Michelin Key, and listed in Tatler Asia Best 100 Hotels 2025, Cap Karoso has quickly become one of the most talked-about hospitality and culinary destinations in Southeast Asia.
Set on the raw, untouched island of Sumba — a one-hour flight from Bali — the resort brings together 40 rooms, 20 villas, 3 restaurants, 2 bars, and a 3-hectare organic farm, where our chefs cook over wood fire, guided by the seasons and the land.
Every year, we host around 15 chefs in residence from across the world. No fixed dogma. No fixed menu. Just movement, ideas, and creative freedom.
In October 2026, Cap Karoso will also host the Sumba Food Festival, welcoming 8 Michelin-starred and World’s 50 Best chefs for two weeks of collaborative dinners, special events, and culinary experiences — a unique opportunity to work alongside some of the most exciting chefs in the world.

Now we are looking for a Sommelier to join us from April to October 2026, with potential to continue beyond.
This is not a position for someone who wants to execute a fixed script. This is for someone who wants to build, explore, and express their personality through wine.
Our cellar reflects the same philosophy as our kitchen:
New World focus, independent producers, unexpected regions, living wines. Australia, South Africa, Chile, Jura, Etna, Canary Islands — curiosity drives the selection.
The Sommelier will work under the supervision of our F&B Manager, as part of a young, ambitious, and creative team.

*Your mission*:
Be the voice of the wine program across our restaurants and bars
Create genuine connections with guests and share stories, not just labels
Collaborate closely with our guest chefs to craft evolving pairings
Help shape the future of the cellar — your ideas matter here
Keep the energy alive, on the floor and behind the scenes

*You are*:
Passionate about wine, especially New World and independent producers
Curious, open-minded, and eager to keep learning
Comfortable stepping out of traditional fine-dining codes
Dynamic, natural, and authentic in your service
Not afraid of distance, isolation, and the beauty of a remote island

*What we offer*:
Competitive salary package
Accommodation and meals provided
A unique environment where wine, food, farming, and creativity meet
Exposure to an international community of chefs and hospitality talents
Opportunity to participate in the Sumba Food Festival alongside Michelin-starred and World’s 50 Best chefs
Real opportunity to grow with one of Asia’s most exciting hospitality projects
This is a place where personalities shine. Where ideas are welcome. Where wine is alive.
If you’re looking for something different, this might be it.
