Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
i was born and lived in Vietnam for 15 years, India 3 years (my parents are Indian), after high school I went to France to studied Math and IT. The past 11 years I run a finca and bodega in San Rafael, Mendoza. Brought up in French schools since I was 6, I grew up with French, Indian and Vietnamese culture. I loved philosophy and music, play guitar. My passion is drinking and making wine. I like to share ideas, experiences with people, to learn from them too.
I invite you to read the reviews.
"Had an amazing month working for Aziz. Aziz is a man with a very interesting background. He is a great teacher on how to make wine and cook and has a lot of knowledge about nearly any topic ( Erlend, Norway)"
Help
I am looking for people who knows how to paint (wall or wood) out of the harvest season, and people who is looking for experiences in the vineyard. During the harvest, from March to May, a lot of possibilities of work in the bodega.
Busco gente que quieren trabajar en el viñedo. O pintar, o para debrotar las viñas.
En la temporada, expliquo yo el trabajo de las viñas.
Hors saison de vendange, je recherche des personnes ont de l'expérience en menuiserie, ou peindre les murs ou le bois.
La vendange, de Mars à Mai, tous les travaux dans le chais sont possibles, pas compliqués non plus.
These are general messages for everyone.
I just want to warn you all that by experience, many workawyers want to dump their back-bag into the washing machine during their first days. I think it's not fair.
Also, the toilet paper is not used for sneezing or blowing your nose.

I really enjoyed my stay with Aziz. I stayed for about a week near the end of the season. Worked about 4-5hrs/day.
The food was great and healthy. I really enjoyed the late night chats with wine! And make sure to play some Chess with Aziz, he is a fantastic player.
