Viticulture Careers - Wine Growing

Jordan is off to Blenheim, one of the country's wine making hubs, to see what's involved in taking the grapes from the vine and into the bottle at the Allan Scott vineyard.

The vineyard sits on 80 hectares and employs six full time staff plus contractors. Jordan gets some hands on experience pruning the vines and getting behind the wheel of the tractor to spray the plants, a crucial aspect to helping protect the vineyard's livelihood. She also meets winemaker Jason Scott and learns how the grapes taste on the vine is the key to deciding when it's best to harvest.

A qualification in viticulture can open up the wide range options within this exciting industry and will be an invaluable asset as you build your career.
