Overview

Enrich Your Everyday

Vinarchy. Redefining Wine.  

 

Born from the 2025 merger of Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard Winemakers, Vinarchy brings together decades of heritage, innovation and global winemaking excellence. Today, we’re shaping the future of wine — and Vintage 2027 is your chance to be part of it. 

 

We’re looking for energetic, hands‑on, quick‑thinking individuals to join our Vintage Harvest Assistant Team across our Marlborough vineyards. If you love being outdoors, enjoy fast‑paced work, and thrive in a role where communication and coordination are everything, this is your moment. 

 

No vineyard experience? No problem. If you’re professional, eager to learn, and ready to get stuck in, we’ll teach you what you need to know. 

 

About The Role

As a Vintage Harvest Assistant, you’ll be right at the heart of harvest, supporting vineyard operations, coordinating teams, bins and trucks, and keeping information flowing between Viticulture, Weighbridge and Winery Front End teams. 

 

This role is dynamic, varied and full of energy. You’ll be part of a tight, supportive team working across a rotating day/night roster. Hours sit around 30 per week, increasing up to 70 hours during peak harvest. 

What Your Day May Look Like

  • Coordinating harvest teams, bins and truck movements across vineyard blocks 
  • Communicating with Viticulture, Weighbridge and Winery Front End teams 
  • Collecting maturity samples from corporate and contract grower vineyards 
  • Gathering, delivering and storing maturity samples 
  • Supporting yield assessments, P&D counts and grapevine performance data collection 
  • Preparing, entering and checking data — including truck/trailer weights and intake paperwork 
  • Collating information from viticultural operations and assisting with ad‑hoc admin tasks 
  • Pitching in with additional vineyard or harvest preparation tasks as required 

 

Every day is different … and that’s what makes vintage unforgettable! 

What You’ll Bring

You don’t need to be a viticulture expert, just someone with a great attitude and a willingness to learn.  

We’re looking for people with: 

  • Excellent communication skills 
  • Strong attention to detail 
  • Ability to follow procedures and stay organised 
  • Confidence using Microsoft Office and basic digital tools 
  • A full NZ driver’s licence 
  • Ability to prioritise tasks and stay calm under pressure 
  • A flexible, positive, team‑focused mindset 
  • Commitment to working the full vintage period 

Why Join Vinarchy

Vinarchy is a home for passionate people to do their best work. We empower our teams, celebrate success, and create an environment where you can learn, grow and thrive. 

You’ll enjoy: 

  • A competitive rewards package 

  • A supportive, world‑class team 

  • Hands‑on experience in a global wine business 

  • The energy, excitement and camaraderie of vintage
