Vineyard Worker

Vineyard Workers are responsible for performing a range of manual tasks essential to the cultivation and maintenance of grapevines. Their duties typically include planting, pruning, trimming, tying, and harvesting grape crops, as well as applying fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation.

Vineyard Workers also monitor vine health, remove weeds, and may assist with machinery operation related to vineyard activities. The role requires physical stamina and an understanding of seasonal agricultural cycles, often working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Attention to detail and adherence to safety standards are important to ensure the quality of the grapes for wine production.
