Hi all,
I am looking for people to come and help our family grower vineyard for the 2022 Champagne grape harvest.
Champagne house: Lasseaux
Location: Champagne region, between Reims & Epernay
Salary: PAID & DECLARED - net salary post food accomodation is around the 80€ per day net.
By law, all grapes have to be cut by hand and this year's max yield is 10,200kg so there are plenty of (paid) work to be done.
Dates aren't fixed yet but we will know at the end of August and share them at that point. They should fall around mid-September 2022.
2022 weather has been glorious so this year, the harvest is likely around 7 days, all grapes have to be manually picked so it is quite tiring as Champagne vines are low.
Last year's net pay was around 80€ per day for those who completed the harvest and were fed/stayed with us. This year expect around 85-90€.
The address is:
27 Route de Paradis, 51480 La Neuville Aux Larris.
No trains or buses in our village but Epernay & Reims are not far and offer good travel options.
We can provide accommodation - we have 20 beds in shared same-sex rooms available on a first-come first-served basis.
We also have space for campervans and can provide electricity to get plugged in.
We will provide secateurs / buckets, we just ask people to bring waterproof clothing and wellies if they have them (we have spares).
We provide transport to/from our house and the vineyards.
Harvest is done during the day, usually from 7.30am to 12 noon then 1.30pm to 5pm.
Get in touch if you fancy joining us!
