Job Title: Dishwasher/Food Prep

Location: 58 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI 02818

Company: Graze on Main

About Graze on Main: Graze on Main is a charming wine and charcuterie shop nestled in one of East Greenwich’s oldest buildings, constructed in 1770. Our shop, located in the lower level, provides an authentic European wine cellar experience. Specializing in small production, organic, and sustainable wines and curated meat and artisanal cheeses, we pride ourselves on providing an experience that encourages our guests to connect over unique and flavorful offerings. We prioritize the presentation of our offerings, creating an immersive experience for our guests. Our wine cellar boasts 100+ labels of small production, organic, sustainable, and/or biodynamic wines, showcasing the true essence of each grape varietal.

Graze on Main was established in 2020, at a time when the entire business was structured with “charcuterie to-go” in mind. While we still provide many charcuterie boards for off-site gatherings and events, Graze has since expanded to include on-site dining and with such, the menu offerings continue to evolve.
