What is a Grape Picker job?

A Grape Picker is responsible for harvesting grapes from vineyards, usually by hand, during the grape-growing season. The job involves selecting ripe grapes, cutting them carefully from the vines, and placing them in containers for transport. It can be physically demanding, requiring long hours outdoors in various weather conditions. Grape Pickers often work as part of a team and may need to meet daily quotas. This role is common in wine-producing regions and is typically seasonal, lasting a few weeks to a few months.

What does a typical workday look like for a grape picker during harvest season?

During harvest season, grape pickers usually start early in the morning to take advantage of cooler temperatures and work in teams to efficiently pick grapes by hand from vines. The day involves walking through vineyard rows, carefully selecting and cutting grape clusters, and placing them in collection bins or crates. Breaks and lunch are generally scheduled in the field, and work often continues until the assigned sections are completed. The role requires standing, bending, and repetitive motions, but being part of a close-knit team helps make the job collaborative and rewarding. Over the course of the season, grape pickers play a crucial role in ensuring the crop is harvested at optimal ripeness for quality wine or table grape production.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Grape Picker position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Grape Picker, you need good physical stamina, attention to detail, and familiarity with safe harvesting techniques; no formal qualifications are typically required, but prior agricultural or outdoor work experience is an advantage. Handheld tools such as grape harvesting knives or shears are commonly used, and some farms may require brief safety training or orientation. Reliability, teamwork, and a strong work ethic are key soft skills that help individuals excel in this seasonal role. These abilities ensure productivity, minimize crop damage, and contribute to a smooth and efficient harvest for vineyard operations.

Job description

Cellar Worker
About Villa Bellezza
At Villa Bellezza, we craft wines that reflect both Old World inspiration and the unique character of the Upper Mississippi River Valley. Our work is rooted in agriculture, craftsmanship, and attention to detail-from vineyard to bottle. Every member of our team contributes directly to the quality of the final product.
Position Overview
The Cellar Worker is a hands-on role at the center of our winemaking operations. This position supports all stages of production-from fruit intake through fermentation, aging, and bottling-while also contributing to seasonal vineyard work throughout the growing season.
This role is well-suited for someone who enjoys physical work, values precision and cleanliness, and takes pride in being part of a team that produces high-quality wine.
What You'll Do
In the Cellar
  • Assist with grape receiving, sorting, crushing, and pressing during harvest
  • Perform fermentation tasks including punch-downs, pump-overs, and monitoring fermentations
  • Clean and sanitize tanks, barrels, and all winery equipment to strict standards
  • Rack and transfer wine between vessels
  • Support blending, fining, and filtration activities
  • Assist with bottling line setup, operation, and breakdown
  • Maintain clear and accurate production records

Equipment & Facility Care
  • Maintain winery tools and equipment (hoses, pumps, presses, tanks)
  • Keep work areas clean, organized, and safe
  • Follow all safety protocols and standard operating procedures

In the Vineyard (Seasonal)
  • Assist with pruning, tying, shoot thinning, and canopy management
  • Participate in harvest, including picking and fruit handling
  • Support general vineyard upkeep and maintenance
  • Operate basic vineyard tools safely and efficiently

What We're Looking For
  • Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
  • Attention to detail and commitment to cleanliness
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Comfort with physical, hands-on work in a production environment
  • Mechanical aptitude is helpful but not required

Previous experience in a winery, brewery, or agricultural setting is a plus, but not required-we are willing to train the right candidate.
Physical & Seasonal Demands
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds regularly
  • Ability to stand, bend, and perform repetitive tasks for extended periods
  • Willingness to work long hours during harvest, including evenings and weekends
  • Comfortable working in both indoor production environments and outdoor vineyard conditions

Why Work at Villa Bellezza
  • Be part of a team dedicated to producing high-quality, estate-driven wines
  • Gain hands-on experience across both winemaking and vineyard operations
  • Opportunity to grow within a dynamic and evolving winery
  • Health insurance and 401K retirement plan
  • We support relevant educational opportunities
  • After 6 months, if a cellar worker is prepared and interested, we will consider supporting candidate for federally-approved apprenticeship program.
