Grape growers manage the production of grapes for sale to consumers or as the key ingredient in the production of wine. They use hand tools or farm equipment to establish and maintain grape vines; they coordinate harvest when conditions are optimal.
Work is in farms and vineyards, usually in rural areas. Early mornings and long hours are common during harvest.
Suits people who work well within a team and have the ability operate and control farm equipment. Basic English and an interest in vineyards, viticulture, horticulture and farm production are helpful.
