Vineyard

Harvest Grape Pickers

Grape picking is a rewarding and social activity, perfect for those who are motivated and enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.

Please note, if you are interested in picking, we anticipate that you would be doing in excess of 15k steps a day and there will be some lifting of buckets therefore a certain level of fitness, mobility and stamina are essential in order to do the job.

Our Vineyard is set on chalky soil in the foothills of the South Downs so uneven ground and high elevation comes with the territory. We also pick in most weathers as the window for collecting the best crop is limited.

All training and tools are provided. Harvest begins mid-September (weather dependent).

Please only apply if you have the right to work in the UK.
