Description
Next available from February 2026.
I'm Gavin from Macau, a busy city known for casinos, I work as a wine sommelier onboard a luxurious cruise ship travelling the world (routes covered include the Mediterranean and the Caribbeans). My current ship contract will finish in early February 2026, and I will have my vacation where I intend to spend in the Southern Hemisphere for the grape harvest season. As a wine lover, I'm open to helping at different types of hosts of vineyards/ winery nature to further my career in wine-related field. This year (2025 September, I worked a harvest season in Styria, Austria at a 9-ha biodynamic vineyard as grape picker and cellar hand.)
In addition, I had previously been involved in viticultural projects helping with general farm tasks, in New Zealand (Marlborough) and in Argentina (Mendoza), respectively.
Cheers.
A little bit about myself, I'd say I'm quite versatile, I have a passion for travel (especially visiting wine regions) and learning new experiences. Having been exposed to different cultures and people I consider myself an experienced traveler. I speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin Chinese and currently learning Portuguese.
I have a driver's license and I have experience driving a forklift.
