Description
We started as a biodynamic wine estate 1999, added later organic holiday appartements and houses, a bistro and a lot of experiences around vines, wines, cooking etc ! During the last years our daughter took other this "stamp size estate" with a very small range of nature wines in combination with her jewelry atelier. Part of the estate is now becoming a third place dedicated to speech and writing with a coliving house, a shared office, workshops, events. It is also a writer residence and we still offer holiday houses. All of this of course in a very sustainable way and in line with our values. We will be ready january 2024.
Staying here you may benefit of our experience as biodynamic farmers with long hospitality practice but also from other people staying for 6 or 12 months here, from different cultures, mostly free lance. They work for themselves from this place (as teacher, coach, webdesigner) or took over part of the place here (bistro, wellness offers,...) . Of course a few people to meet for you too !
We would like you to help us to run this place during a month in 2024 and stay with your personal experiences and skills. May be in the field of photography, video, web design, cooking, gardening, maintenance in general... we will see as we go, and as you go, but don't hesitate to send your application, clearly specifying what your area of expertise is and what you would like to learn and experience here.
Working time will be around 20 hours a week and give you enough time to explore the region and meet people around.
