Vineyard manager

Vineyard managers oversee the growing of grapes for wine or table use, managing the vines through the seasons. The work involves inspecting vines for disease, guiding pruning and canopy management, monitoring ripening, coordinating harvest, and making the cultivation decisions that shape fruit quality.

They work for wineries and grape growers. The role suits knowledgeable, hands-on people with a feel for viticulture who can read vines and fruit, make timing-critical decisions, and combine the patience of long-term vine management with the intensity of getting the harvest right.
