We had a wonderful time volunteering with Kim, Nik & Glenda. They were so welcoming, kind and hospitable and made us feel like honoured guests, showing us the Swiss culture & nature, and Glenda was so kind to cook us such delicious meals. The work was so peaceful and enjoyable, I miss it already. This was a heartwarming experience that has taught me so much about how to connect with nature. Cannot recommend enough!

It was our first volunteering and it exceeded the expectations we had. The vön the winery family made us feel very comfortable since we arrived, they treated us as if we were part of them. They also showed us their culture and favorite places, it has been a wonderful experience that we will always keep in our memory, with the desire to return in another opportunity. As for the work, it is varied, which makes it more dynamic and fun. The place they offer you to live is very comfortable, with beautiful views of the garden and the mountains, in addition to the delicious meals made by Glenda! GRACIAS!💖

This volunteering really exceeded our expectations!! Since we arrived, everything was super comfortable for us. The work was varied which made it fun. Kim, Nik and Glenda took us to the most beautiful points of Switzerland, telling us their stories in each of those places and took us to eat and drink the best. We never lacked anything, in fact we are going more complete than when we arrived. We recommend this experience 100%!! If you can do it, dont hesitate

It's been a great experience! I have met a very warm and friendly family, they have made me feel part and confident. Thank you for showing me a little of your country, thank you Kim, Glenda and Nick; I hope we can meet at another time. Volunteering requires a little physical effort, but nothing that is not manageable, in addition to being able to do it at your own pace, take a rest, and drink delicious cider, beer or water.

Our stay at the winery Family was amazing. Kim explained us everything in advance so we knew what to expect and what to look forward to. Our work was not very physically difficult, usually consisting of simple tasks and a good thing was that they won't let you do one task for the rest of your stay so you dont have to worry if it is going to be boring. They are really trying to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and we felt it so much especially during our leaving 🥲. I definitely recommend this place, the whole family is great, open-minded and extremely funny. We had a great time. Thank you
