CAEP is a J1 visa program that assists international winemakers looking to experience a vintage in the USA. We work alongside some of the top wineries in the industry who are looking to connect with dedicated professionals to join them for the harvest season. CAEP works with over 400 prestigious wineries in the USA and still has many placements available in various wine regions in the United States! These top wineries are looking for wine enthusiasts to help with harvest. We have high-paying cellar and laboratory placements available. Experience with one prior crush, laboratory experience, or higher education in the wine industry is required.

CAEP has helped over twenty thousand young professionals from over 100 countries experience the beauty of cultural exchange and gain the hands-on skills and training needed to pursue successful careers in winemaking.

If you have already secured a placement with a winery, CAEP will help with all the details to get you to the United States of America. We offer visa processing assistance, consulate guidance, accident and illness insurance (required for the J1 visa), and 24/7 support during your exchange experience. CAEP helps take care of the details so you can have the best experience possible!
