Description
Pruning Help Wanted – Wairarapa 2026 🍇
Pruning Date:
9th - 18th July OR
31st July - 9th August
Hi! We’re Lisa & Craig, and we’d love to welcome you to our small vineyard just south of Martinborough, in the beautiful Wairarapa, New Zealand.
Craig is an Environmental Consultant, and Lisa is a Graphic & Textile Designer who now works primarily in our growing wine business.
We’re looking for 2 couples or individuals to join us for pruning during winter. Experience is a bonus, but not essential — you just need to be fit, willing, and keen to learn.
Accommodation & Food provided
Two queen beds: one in the house and one in a separate nook next to the house, & a 4 bed bunk room.
Shared bathroom with other work aways.
Swimming pool
We can collect you from a Wairarapa train, and/or drop you back into Wellington city after your time with us.
It’s a peaceful rural setting surrounded by vineyards and farms — a wonderful place to experience a workaway.
We’d love to hear from you! 🍷 -

Close by are many vineyards. There are 4 towns 5 - 40 minutes drive away. About a 40 minute drive away is Cape Palliser where you can see seals and climb the steps to the lighthouse. In the opposite direction is Castle Point which offers a boadwalk to another lighthouse and a lovely beach. Wellington city is known for its great cafes and Te Papa is a fantastic museum.

We have a number of wild birds around the vineyard and take time to protect our native life through trapping.

They welcomed us with open arms and I really enjoyed my time with them.
