Immerse Yourself in the Vineyard Life

At Mumana Vineyards, we believe that the best way to truly understand the art of viticulture is to experience it firsthand. That’s why we created the Vine & Shine Retreat Work-Stay Program, a unique opportunity for those looking to immerse themselves in the daily life of a working vineyard.

What Is the Vine & Shine Work-Stay Program?

The Vine & Shine Retreat is more than just a work-stay program—it’s a journey into the heart of sustainable grape growing. Participants in this program will spend their days working alongside our dedicated team, gaining hands-on experience in every aspect of vineyard management. From pruning and training vines to learning about integrated pest management and soil health, you’ll be involved in the critical tasks that keep our vineyard thriving.

Who Is It For?

Whether you’re a budding viticulturist, a nature enthusiast, or someone seeking a meaningful escape, the Vine & Shine Retreat is designed for anyone with a passion for learning and a love for the land. This program is ideal for those looking to reconnect with nature, learn new skills, and experience the tranquility of life among the vines.

What Will You Experience?
