You will learn the basics of running and maintaining a vineyard and taste the results of the hard labor.
In addition to that we are at the border of The Netherlands and Belgium giving you the opportunity to get exposed to both cultures in one stay.Ayuda
We have a 1 hectare vineyard 4.500 plants in Ossendrecht in the south of The Netherlands on the Dutch/Belgium border 20 minutes from Antwerp. Looking for general help in the vineyard, no experience required, willingness to work outdoors is obviously expected. In addition to that we have a lovely garden and some forestry that need general maintenance, for this season the forestry maintenance will be the primary task.

We would honestly recommend Paul's workaway to anyone!!
It's worth it and really - there is nothing we could complain about !!! 100/100 !!!
We stayed at their house for just over 2 weeks and it was an absolute pleasure.
The house/ accomodation is AMAZING for a workaway. You have your own private space and you… read more
The work was great, varied and fit us very well. We enjoyed chopping wood and more relaxed jobs walking in the vineyard. The hours was very flexible and we were live to do the work by ourself on our time, but Paul was around if we needed help with anything.
The house was amazing!… read more

All the best for that family
it was a pleasure to help you both out in the vineyard (and walk around at the Kalmthoutse heide, the nature reserve at 15 minutes walk from your home)! We felt really comfortable and welcome at your home. Thanks for the lovely food, the sauna and having us around! Greetings to you both, Mathieu, the dogs and the cat!
Additionally, Paul is an amazing cook, and I was lucky enough to try some of their very own wine!… read more

Thank you very much for an amazing time. I stayed with Paul, Villeke and Manon for a week learning how to take care of a vineyard in a very cozy and peaceful Dutch village. I enjoyed the work which never was too hard and everyday family life with these giving and lovely people. I felt welcome, taken care of and was encouraged to and… read more
it has been a great pleasure having you with us this last week.
For other hosts, I would like to recommend Dimitry for any (outside) activity. All the work in the vineyard was performed with great pleasure and precision. He also started logging some of the trees that were laying around from own interest and "just for fun"
Also you… read more
