There is a certain romance about the notion of working in a vineyard. Picking grapes, tucking vines, conjuring up images of rolling hills, breathtaking landscapes and stomping on the grapes with your bare feet in a huge wooden barrel. I won’t sugar coat it, tucking vines, grape picking, and bottling wine is hard work, often under a strong summer sun, but the rewards remain bountiful. You get to meet locals, share in an age-old tradition and hopefully, indulge in the fruits of your labor and the celebrations that go with harvest season.
