If you’re looking for a harvest without 80s music, Star Wars references, and delicious after-work outings, please keep searching. Keever Vineyards presents the opportunity to be part of a small winemaking team and see all aspects of the wine production process and working in close contact with a small crew.
My time at Keever was far better than I could have hoped. Upon completion, I learned so much about the wine making process from start to finish. The staff- all of them but especially Jason and Keiko - felt not just like great bosses and colleagues but like personal friends by the end of internship.
