Daniela and Pablo were so kind and relaxed, great hosts and I felt very welcome. I looked after the children for most of the day but had hours off and got to explore the area when I had days off. The children are adorable and I enjoyed spending time outside with them in the sun on walks, collecting fruit and playing with the neighbours. Thanks so much for everything ❤️

Pablo & Daniela are true great hosts. The Bodega is constantly improving, with sustainable goals/methods in mind. It was a pleasure to humbly participate to this process. In their winery they develop a natural wine which is complex, fruity, intense. The kids are really really really lovely, cute, funny, clever ! Exchanging with them is also a nice way to learn and improve Spanish. The food provided was diverse, natural, with good quality and no pesticides. We always had enough and quite a lot of choices/options. Volunteering hours were also as per described by Daniela ! A great experience !

The work was good, the facilities are good as well. I loved my time at the vineyard a lot and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for having me!!

It is a beautiful place that allowed me to learn a lot about wine culture and even participate in some of its processes. I really enjoyed being able to put into practice my web design and video editing skills in such a special environment.

A transformative and very authentic experience in a vineyard, surrounded by nature (and its fauna🕸️😜).\nThe conditions are simple (basic facilities, cold showers, real rural life), so it's not for everyone.\nIt's a total immersion: although 40h per week are planned, being isolated means cohabitation is continuous and the pace is set by the family.\nFor me it allowed me to reconnect with the essential, to value simplicity and to see that the true contribution lies in character and attitude.\nIf you come with openness and adaptability, you will take away much more than learning about natural wine.

My experience at the vineyard confirmed my phobia of tarantulas and helped me identify my limits regarding comfort. The vineyard is an excellent place to connect with nature. However, you must be comfortable with the rudimentary facilities offered. The vineyard also demands a good capacity for adaptation. The daily plans are changing and sometimes poorly communicated. Pablo gladly shares his passion for wine and his way of vinifying. He adopts a rather calm and easy-going dynamic. As for her, Daniela is more directive in her requests.
