My partner and I had a great time at the winery! Roland, Jaspar and Bianca were very friendly and we never felt overworked. The tasks we were given ranged from harvesting grapes and learning how they are produced into wine, sorting potatoes and other odd jobs. We intended to stay only two weeks but extended a few more because we liked the living arrangements and food allowance. Would recommend if you want to see a more rural part of the Netherlands!

Jack and Grace stayed with us and we truly loved having them here. They are a fun, social, and easy-going couple who also take their responsibilities very seriously. Every task they were given, they handled with care and dedication — and we shared plenty of laughs along the way.
They are extremely reliable and kept their accommodation clean and tidy at all times. We would absolutely recommend them to any host. Truly a wonderful couple!
Thank you for everything, Jack and Grace!

I had a great time volunteering here! We did lots of different tasks to assist the farm like harvesting grapes, sorting potatoes etc. The hours were always respected and the food allowance was very reasonable. Accommodation was cosy in our own caravan with kitchen and bathroom and nice heating. Would definitely recommend!

Roland was an exceptional host, he was always attentive to our needs, and we had wonderful moments of fun and cultural exchange together! He also always respected the working hours and days off. He lent us bicycles to get around the area. We highly recommend him and would definitely come back!

Ronald made us feel at home from the very first day. We worked, laughed, sang karaoke, learned a lot about crop production, and made friends from all over the world. We also had the chance to experience the wine festival, which was absolutely amazing. This was a truly enriching experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone considering it!

The experience at the winery was incredible! We were able to connect with and learn from the local people by sharing different moments with them. Bianca and Roland were friendly and respectful. They are always willing to help and spend time with the volunteers. The facilities for the volunteers are very comfortable and have everything you need for your stay! One of the best things about the winery is their dog, Tarzan! :) It's a truly wonderful experience—I highly recommend it!
