If you love natural wine but have never had the chance to help with grape harvesting, now is your chance. Natural winemakers hand-pick their grapes, ensuring only the best are chosen for fermentation. This noble method, far removed from mechanized harvesting, protects the soil, vines, and grapes, allowing you to truly connect with nature. However, this approach requires more hands and more time, and winemakers greatly appreciate any help they can get!
Go harvesting with natural winemakers in 2024!
Natural wine lovers, below is a non-exhaustive list of winemakers in the Northern Hemisphere who need your help, your arms, and your good vibes for the harvest. Don't hesitate to reach out to them and find out how you can get involved, harvesting is a unique opportunity to see how wine is made up close and is often a life changing experience.
