What You’ll Be Doing

This isn’t your average 9-to-5 desk job. As a vineyard worker, you’ll get to spend your days outdoors surrounded by lush vines and stunning lake views. The work is hands-on and physically engaging. Here’s what your typical tasks may include:

  • Grading and sorting grapes during harvest
  • Maintaining vine growth, managing the canopy, and monitoring grape health

  • Operating vertical farming systems (for certain vine arrangements)
  • Spraying crops (organically) for pest and disease control
  • Harvesting grapes during the peak season
  • Operating and maintaining farm machinery and equipment
  • Inspecting crops for signs of disease or pests
  • Preparing grapes for processing and market
  • Completing daily progress reports and task documentation

  • Fluency in English is required
  • Experience is helpful but not mandatory
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills are essential
  • Flexibility and a good work ethic are key to success

Working Conditions

Let’s be honest—vineyard work isn’t always easy. It’s physically demanding and often weather-dependent. But if you love the idea of working with your hands, caring for vines, and being outside, this can be incredibly fulfilling work.

  • Outdoor work in all weather conditions (wet, hot, dusty)
  • Repetitive tasks and physically demanding duties like bending, lifting, crouching
  • Long hours on your feet, especially during peak season
  • Fast-paced environment where attention to detail matters
