Volunteering in the Vineyard

Do you love being outdoors? Would you like to gain experience working on a vineyard?

This year we are looking for volunteers to help out in the vineyard with various roles between Spring and Autumn.

Could you help us with time-critical work such as tying down the vine canes in Spring and leaf-stripping during flowering? As with grape-picking at harvest, these operations require a certain amount of physical endurance and motivation to work outdoors – if that sounds like you or you’d like to find out more, please email Paul Harrison at paul.harrison@saffrongrange.com.
