opportunity to learn and build practical vineyard experience of key tasks, biodynamic and
regenerative practices. During the growing season there may be ad hoc support required in the
winery however this role is required mainly for the vineyard. The role will also involve support over
the harvest period and in the winery during this time, helping with all core winemaking processes.
Training will be provided by Lucie and Jules for all tasks and the person will be reporting into Lucie
and Jules.
Pay rates are competitive and will be on p/hour basis based on experience. A typical working day
would be 8 hours per day excl. breaks however we are open to discussing a more flexible
arrangement. There is an expectation of some flexibility in days and hours around key tasks
depending on the needs of the vineyard, requiring some early starts and / or late finishes depending
on the criticality of the task.
The role will be to provide seasonal support over May to the middle of November, including support
over harvest.
