Millton Vineyards & Winery

Yep, I lived on a vineyard. And not just any vineyard. Millton Vineyards is New Zealand's first Organic & Biodynamic wine estate. Here's how I lived here, picked grapes, got paid, drank incredible wine way out of my price range, and enjoyed outdoor fire baths overlooking the vineyard every night- and how you can too. The harvest begins around March so contact Millton Vineyards for work in February, then show up on their doorstep and let them know you are for real about working the harvest. If you can play a musical instrument your chances are even better. Picking grapes may not sound that fun but there's something magic about James Millton and his vineyard.
