Descrição
We are a Chilean/North American family which have now moved from Santiago to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is a small picturesque area in the heart of the red wine valley of Colchagua. It's located 2 hours south of Santiago in the red wine valley. We have a wonderful restaurant on a vineyard. We also have a large property for those who like to garden. There are several options , from helping tourists to teaching English to our Chilean staff. We have been in the program now for almost 12 years and we have had a wonderful experience with our Workawayers of all ages. (21-70)

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Santa Cruz is small town in the red wine valley of Chile. Beautiful scenery and country living. You will definitely learn about wine as it’s all around and we organize tours to the vineyards. Sta Cruz has 5 museums as well! Pichlemu beach is just an hour away as well as other sights to see. If you don't speak Spanish already you will learn. If you don’t know anything about wine, you will learn.
We have had Workaways from all over and have made very good friendships and still keep in touch with the majority..
Ajuda
Tasks are mainly with tourists for translating , basic organization and keeping things clean, teaching English to the staff, gardening and laundry.
We have a Chilean staff of 15 for cooking and waiting on tables. Workaways will not help in those areas. Lunch and dinner provided.
We prefer a min stay of one month, longer is better. We do accept short term on special occasions.
Our peak season is summer, January, February and March but we welcome extra hands all year long. Harvest time is March/April and it’s autumn and a beautiful time to visit .

The house is furnished and is equiped with a kitchen, washer and 2 bathrooms. We provide the soap, detergent, toilette paper, cleaning supplies etc.
Adults only .
Algo mais...
We are a North American - Chilean family. We can always use help in our home as well as our restaurant .As this is a tourist area people are always visiting from all parts of the world. We have a house closeby which allows for a private or double room. We provide two meals a day at the restaurant. So far everyone has been happy here improving their knowledge of both Spanish and wine while meeting new and interesting people for cultural exchange.
COVID situation here is very low but boarders to enter Chile are still closed to foreigners so the dynamics have changed. More info upon request.

From the beginning Janine and her family welcomed me as one of their own. I ended up spending 6 months with them and found it very difficult to leave. This was my first Workaway experience and I think it will be impossible to top. Janine is like a mother to the Workaway guests. She is one of the most generous and loving people I have met, and I… read more

At first we weren't planning on passing though Santa Cruz, but we're really happy that we found this opportunity to help.
Overall, all of the people in the restaurant were very welcoming, and we really enjoyed staying in the guesthouse nearby.
Thanks a lot Janine for having us!

Richard and Stella are a fantastic couple.
They were so wonderful to have. Proactive, self sufficient, pleasant to be around and very hard workers. They learned the in and outs of their jobs quickly and we absolutely adored having them with us. We were lucky to have them. Hope to see them again someday.
