What Helpers Receive

A hands-on vineyard morning

No prior vineyard experience is needed. Lunch, snacks, and refreshments are provided.

Picture Yourself at Harvest

Come for the morning. Leave knowing more about what goes into every bottle.

Harvest is when the vineyard’s growing season becomes the winery’s next chapter. Helpers work alongside one another in the rows, see the vineyard at one of its most important moments, and become part of bringing in the fruit.

You do not need vineyard experience to take part. Harvest Helpers include returning volunteers, first-time guests, families, friends, and people who simply want to understand the work behind the wine more closely.

The morning is active, social, and outdoors. Some helpers come for the vineyard experience. Others return because harvest has become part of their Fence Stile tradition.

A real part of the winemaking year

Harvest Helpers are not watching from the sidelines. They are joining a working vineyard morning when the fruit is ready to come in.
