I had an amazing time staying with Alex at Chateau Civrac. From being able to try his amazing wines to learning about different styles of viticulture. It's a truly unique experience to be able to live and spend time in a the winery. I hope to return again soon 😁

A great 1st Worldpackers experience! Before my stay, Alex and I called to talk about the winery and his expectations, and I asked him any questions I had. During my stay, I worked in the vines on various tasks; Alex made an effort to vary these tasks so I didn't do the same thing the whole time. The work is physical but doable and worth it to learn about wine hands-on. I was lucky that the other volunteers knew lots already. It is remote, but we fixed up bikes Alex had so we could get to nearby towns. We had a miscommunication regarding meals which was handled very respectfully by Alex.

I had the incredible opportunity to live an unforgettable experience at Château Civrac, in Cotes de Bourg. I learned a lot during my stay thanks to Alex, who not only generously shared his knowledge, but also made me feel at home with his hospitality. I am deeply grateful for everything he taught me and for the warm atmosphere I found in the winery. Without a doubt, a stage that marked my personal and professional training.

It was really interesting learning about wine and grape growing., and living on the winery was so beautiful. Alex was a great host, very knowledgeable and understanding. I had a great time and can't wait to see the harvest.

This was a great first step into volunteering for me. the winery is beautifully picturesque, making the morning work well worth it. You will be cooking most days and it can be cold in the campervan when it's not sunny. Alex is great about respecting the work hours as agreed and we did a variety of tasks around the winery including pruning, tying on, helping pack bottles and moving the sheep.
