If you’re looking for a harvest without 80s music, Star Wars references, and delicious after-work outings, please keep searching. Keever Vineyards presents the opportunity to be part of a small winemaking team and see all aspects of the wine production process and work in close contact with a small crew. If that doesn’t scare you, please email your résumé´ and cover letter to the Keever Team through the link below. No phone calls, please.

Reflections from previous interns :)

Keever was my first harvest, and I was able to learn so much everyday while having a laugh. You get to be a part of every aspect of winemaking with top-level equipment but also top-level people. Don’t apply if you don’t want to belt out 80s ballads or dance to cumbia between pump-overs. 100/10 recommend.

My time at Keever Vineyards was nothing short of educational and inspiring! Jason, Emma, and the entire team are deeply invested in teaching, taking the time to thoroughly explain procedures, and ensure interns gain true hands-on experience. Their patience, attention to detail, and commitment to quality make harvest an exciting and invaluable learning opportunity. If you’re looking to build real-world skills, deepen your understanding of winemaking, and be a part of a supportive, hardworking team, Keever is the place to be!
