  Description

  We are a 2 dad family owned vineyard in the South West of France. With our dog and twin boy and girl, we have a busy life growing vines and making wine in this beautiful part of the world. We are originally from South Africa but have lived and travelled the world. We always look for a few extra hands during the busy summer months from July-September to help with lunch preparation, gardening and general chores in and around the house.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in a rural part of France, but Bordeaux is only 55 minutes away by train. There are several small villages in the area, easily reachable by bicycle. We speak Afrkaans, English and French. During the summer months there are many festivals and night markets almost every day of the week. There is opportunity to learn about wine tastings, hospitality events and general work in the vines. We have many international visitors during the summer so a great opportunity to practice language skills for English, French, Dutch and German.
