HARVEST IN LA GUTINA
Harvest season is the most intense and special time of the year for us, and we like to experience it as a celebration and a moment of sharing: sharing the joy, the effort, the experience, and the process of making wine. After months of work in the vineyard, the time finally comes to pick the grapes and create the wines that we have imagined, pursued, and dreamed of year after year.
We are looking for volunteers who would like to share this experience with us in a warm, authentic, and informal environment. We are not simply looking for help in the vineyard: we enjoy creating a close-knit group where work, conviviality, good food, wine, and long conversations all come together, so that La Gutina remains a unique and special place in everyone's memories.
The harvest usually takes place between August and September and lasts about a month, although the actual grape-picking days are normally around fifteen. We work mainly in the mornings, when temperatures are more pleasant. Those who join us for the harvest will help pick the grapes and can also take part in the winemaking process in the cellar, which is always carried out at a slow, relaxed, and collaborative pace.
We offer accommodation and meals in our farmhouse. Guests stay in dedicated rooms, and there is a small swimming pool where you can relax after work. The house is spacious, with a shared kitchen and shared bathrooms.
We ask for a minimum stay of five days so that everyone has time to settle into the rhythm of the house and become part of the group. However, we are flexible depending on room availability.
On days when there is no harvesting to be done, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the surrounding area. The Mediterranean Sea is only a 20-minute drive away, and the region offers beautiful landscapes, walking trails, and charming villages to explore.
We would love to welcome people who are open-minded, curious, and collaborative—people who are interested not only in working together but also in sharing everyday life. Sometimes this may include helping with cooking or other small household tasks. Everything happens in a spirit of mutual cooperation, where everyone contributes according to their abilities.
For us, harvest is much more than work. It is a celebration marking the end of a year spent caring for the vineyard and the beginning of the journey that transforms grapes into wine. It is a time to share food, wine, stories, and life itself.
If you would like to get your hands dirty, learn something about wine, and spend a few days immersed in the countryside, we would be delighted to welcome you.
We look forward to sharing energy, wine, nature, and meaningful conversations with you.
