Kiwi Bunkhouse provides the opportunity to become part of our experienced team working on our contracted vineyards in Marlborough.

Work is available for 11 months of the year with the peak time being from October to May and June to September. The following is a breakdown of the different types of work you will encounter during the growing season.

June to September (Pruning)
Grapevine pruning is a lengthy process which involves the removal of last years unwanted canes and the selection of new cane to be used for the upcoming growing season. We require people to work as part of a team completing one of the 4 jobs to complete this important vineyard function.

October to March (Growing Season)
Throughout the growing season we undertake a variety of different vineyard jobs. This varies between new vineyard developments to fully established vines. All work throughout the growing season requires people to be fit and energetic who enjoy working in hot weather.

April to May ( Harvesting)
The harvest time is a very exciting time of the year where we see the results of our hard work since pruning began in June. We work as a large team hand picking the grapes which will then be made into Premium Marlborough Wine.
