Stumpy Gully Vineyard is a family-run business based in Moorooduc on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. We have 80 acres of vineyard and produce a range of varieties, focusing on Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio.

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in all aspects of a working winery- from the vineyard all the way through to vintage and beyond.

We are a small team searching for someone to fill a permanent position, part time or full time, beginning now. This role will include Vintage 2027, and work beyond that. The ideal applicant is someone practical, hardworking, and keen to be involved across both vineyard and winery, someone who loves a hands-on role and working outdoors.
