I really enjoyed my stay at the winery Vineyard. You have your own space in a caravan with everything you need, and you get €50 per week for food. The work is fun, especially if you're interested in wine and potatoes ;) 🍷🥔 Bianca and Roland are super sweet and welcoming hosts, and the other volunteers were also really lovely. We were a team of 3–4 volunteers. Just keep in mind that you'll be cycling quite a lot, as the vineyard is located in the countryside. However, there are buses available to larger towns nearby. Overall i would defenetly recoment!

This was my first volunteer experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better place. Bianca, Roland, and their family are amazing people, with such a light and happy energy. All my days at the winery were pleasant and peaceful. We have an individual space for ourselves, which is really nice, the facilities are comfortable, the daily work activities are easygoing, and the working hours are respected. I left there with the certainty that one day I will come back, because now I have a family in the Netherlands to visit. Thank you for everything, Roland and Bianca. You are amazing!

Volunteering at Wijngaard Maronesse was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Roland and the whole pack are truly friendly people that help you whenever you need it. Hours were always respected, with everyday coffee break 😊. We tried various jobs - picking grapes, working in a carrot field or did a little gardening. Afternoons were good to grab a book and read at the campsite, take a bike and drive to nearby villages or take a bus and travel further. Our mobile homes were equipped with everything we needed and Roland checked on us regularly, if everything's OK. Totally recommend!

It was really nice! Since the beginning I was welcomed with open arms by Roland and Bianca <3 even by Tarzan and the farm cat were truly welcoming me :)) The work was really nice and cozy, we were in the vinyard both 2 weeks I was there. It was a really nice experience! Even got tips for what to do nearby by the owners and the co-workers that work there full-time! Really nice people :) I will miss it <3 it was a super nice experience

This is absolutely a nice place for volunteering. I stayed there for over one month and had a very nice time. The host Roland is very friendly and welcoming. We had a music festival with local people( many wines from Roland 😂😂), wine tasting, hot tub and barbecues several times, which are all lovely. The accommodation caravan is well equipped with kitchen, fridge and bathroom, giving me a feeling of home. Working hours are fair, from 8-12am with 30 mins of break. Most of tasks are easy, although weeding can be a bit hard ( but still manageable). I would 100% recommend this place.🤣🤣🤣

My fiancée, Lia, and I had an excellent experience at Maronesse Winery. During our stay, we helped tend to the vineyards and potato crops, and also had the opportunity to learn about the entire winemaking process. One of the highlights was the farm's welcoming atmosphere, which allowed us to meet and get to know amazing people. Overall, it was a deeply enriching experience for both of us, on both a professional and personal level. We would unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic experience, hands-on learning, and excellent cultural immersion.

As my first volunteer experience here, it was wonderful! The work schedule is perfect (working in the morning and free time in the afternoon/evening). We made friends and even partied a lot with them. You cycle quite a bit here, but it's definitely worth it.

Roland welcomed us, showed us around when we got there and was very helpful along the way. We had a very nice time working at the vineyard and in the field, and everything was straightforward and easy ti follow. On our last day, we had a sort-of goodbye party with the other volunteers and had a great time. I would recommend it 100% although make sure to check the weather beforehand.

I had a wonderful two-week volunteering experience in the Netherlands. We worked about 4 hours per day, and the schedule was fair and well organized. The host was very friendly and welcoming, and our room was comfortable and clean.
We received €50 every Friday for groceries and cooked our own meals. It was also great to meet other volunteers and share the experience with them. The village was about 2 hours by train from Amsterdam, making it easy to explore the area.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to other volunteers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
