These positions will typically commence in early-March, with peak Harvest shifts typically being 12-hours, 7 days per week. There are options available for earlier start dates for the right people. Processing fruit from Marlborough and Central Otago usually consists of a longer harvest period than most. A hot meal and fresh fruit is provided each shift during the vintage intake period.

We provide free on-site accommodation and many more benifits for our Vintage Cellar Hands during the harvest period.

Hourly rate - $24.00 - $30.00 depending on experience. Minimum 30 hours per week.

• Jobseekers should be aware that the start and finish dates of harvest work employment may change from those suggested by wineries at the time of your job offer. Vintage dates can not accurately be predicted.
  
  It is therefore important that you understand that depending on your employment arrangements with the employer there may be a period of time where you have no work or less work than you were expecting, and should have sufficient financial arrangements in place should this occur. Your actual start and finish dates may vary - if you have queries around this, check with your winery employer before booking airline tickets etc.
