Family vineyard in Northwest Worcestershire

Small family-run vineyard and winery, NW Worcestershire

Key info:

• 3-4hrs per day, 2 days off per week
• Self-catered
• Vineyard support, general maintenance and sorting
• Northwest Worcestershire

Accommodation:

Our small family-owned old vineyard is in NW Worcestershire, walking distance from the River Severn and beautiful ancient woodland. We have our won small woodland with stream and two shepherd huts in the vineyard with lovely views towards the Clent Hills.

Our two shepherd huts are fitted with a full size double bed, a kitchenette with sink, 2-ring hob and fridge. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, heated towel rail and a composting toilet. There is a log burner and we supply bed linen and towels. Outside there is a seating area with fire pit and BBQ.

What we need help with:

We welcome help in the busy summer months from June to early September. This might include:

• mowing the lawns and vineyard
• managing the vigorous vine growth which includes trimming, tucking in and leaf stripping
• preparing the winery for the Autumn harvest
• labelling wine for the shop

What we are looking for:

We're a friendly relaxed family who work hard but then love to chill at the end of the day. Working in the vineyard is lovely but can involve hours outdoors on your feet - on chilly days and hot days. Gardening experience is useful but not essential - we can show you what needs doing. And if you're good with tractors and garden machinery, that's a bonus!

Local area

Astley is in a pretty and rural part of Worcestershire. We are within walking distance of the River Severn and Shrawley woods is just across the field - great for walks. There are several traditional pubs nearby. The city of Worcester is just 10 miles away and we also close to the canal town of Stourport-on-Severn and the lovely riverside town of Bewdley

Extra perks

If you're interested in winemaking we can show you how it's done in our little winery.
