About the employer
Old Firehouse Winery is the largest lakefront winery in Ohio, right on the beaches of Lake Erie in the small vacation village of Geneva-on-the-Lake. It's a full-service restaurant with two bars, 20 different wines, beer and live music at night — the best of a night club and a winery, without the wine snobbery.
For you as a seasonal student, that means a fun, busy summer environment and a friendly, safe seasonal community. The town is quiet and laid back, with some nightlife and big festivals like Thunder on the Strip. Temperatures range from 55 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so bring clothes for both.
