Summary
I am looking for new experiences at an exciting winery for harvest 2025. I have worked as a permanent at Indevin/ Villa Maria HB for nearly 3 years as well as having completed 2 harvest with them prior to becoming a permanent cellar hand.
As you will be able to see from my past studies and work I've had difficulties deciding what I wanted to do with my career but now I believe I've found it!
As well as having completed my Bachelor of Wine Science; I have experience in almost every role at the winery with a few exceptions. I also have had experience supervising new staff during harvest to ensure that their work is done to a high standard as well as efficiently.
