There, now that all of that stuff is out of the way, here’s what we can offer you:

- The occasional malted beverage from our good mates at delicious local breweries
- Tasty tunes to groove to whilst working
- The opportunity to live amongst the hives and learn the ways of the bees (we don’t recommend this, but the option is there)
- The choice of putting honey on literally every piece of food you consume (again, not recommended, but you do you)
- Finally, to work with a team that is devoted to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding in a young and promising wine region.
