Harvest Volunteer Weekend 2025

Buckets and snips at the ready!

It’s time to bring in the grapes and we’d love you to be part of it. Join us for our final volunteer harvest weekends of 2025, as we hand-pick the last of our Pinot Noir and Meunier, and all of the Chardonnay. Alongside the rewarding work of harvesting, you’ll enjoy a full day of great food, hot drinks, cake, and of course, a glass of wine. Whether you’re an experienced picker or brand new to harvest, it’s a chance to soak up the buzz, meet fellow wine lovers, and play a real part in the story of our 2025 vintage.

Dates Available:

Sunday 28th September - Mini Harvest Day
A more intimate harvest as we pick the last of the Pinots. Just 20 volunteers needed, with a shorter day and pizza in the vineyard for lunch.

Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th October - Chardonnay Harvest
Our big harvest weekend! We’ll be gathering 45 volunteers each day to help bring in the Chardonnay, with plenty of delicious food to keep everyone fuelled throughout the day.

What to bring

• Sensible clothing for all weather

• Gloves if you have them (spares provided)

• Secateurs if you own a pair (we’ll have plenty too)

Booking details

• Please book for the total number of adults in your group

• Children are welcome, just let us know their ages (but don’t include them in the ticket numbers)

• Note any dietary requirements when booking

• If you can’t make it, please notify us so we can offer your spot to someone on the waiting list

Spaces are limited, and we ask that you commit to the whole day if possible; it helps us make the most of the harvest. If that’s not doable, just let us know.

We’ll be keeping an eye on the weather as the weekend approaches. Fingers crossed for perfect picking conditions, but if the weather has other ideas, there’s a small chance we may need to reschedule.

We can’t wait to see you in the vineyard and share this special part of the Bluestone journey with you!
