I have a really good time. The jobs are not so hard, and the hours are respected. I enjoyed my time there as I spent time in nature, was able to take long walks and trips in bicycle around the winery and small villages and learn new things about vineyards and wine. Alex is really nice and friendly making sure everything is fine. The meals are share and everyone needs to help (cooking, washing the dishes, etc). It's on the countryside far from big cities, so I suggest to check on the map before you travel if you do not enjoy being by yourself, or with other volunteer, far from cities.
