Vintage Cellarhands

Ideally, you will have previous experience; one or two prior vintages under your belt would be great. You will have knowledge of automated winery equipment, and a fairly good level of fitness (and no fear of heights!). These, coupled with a good understanding of winemaking processes and vintage operations or a demonstrated willingness to learn and an interest in winemaking means you could be just the person we are looking for.

All of our Vintage Cellarhand positions are fixed term, for a period of 8 – 10 weeks. Our vintage generally runs from mid-March to mid-May; however the duration of employment may vary due to vintage conditions. Majority of people will work either morning or afternoon/night shifts.

We are passionate about making great wine; our warm and friendly team are ready to show you why, and to welcome you on-board!

Previous winery experience is preferred but not required. We are looking for individuals who are able to work long hours and who are prepared to complete a pre-employment drug test. If this is you then Pernod Ricard Winemakers would love to hear from you.
