VineWorks have announced the acquisition of a state-of-the-art Gregoire harvesting machine.

This substantial investment will allow VineWorks to provide both hand and machine harvesting services to their clients.

James Dodson, CEO of VineWorks said:  “We are truly excited to offer machine harvesting for the first time and are developing a unique approach to deliver quality grapes to wineries.

“This investment signifies a major step forward for our company. With the UK wine industry expanding and large-scale producers entering the market, finding experienced vineyard labour has become increasingly challenging. Mechanisation is crucial to meet the industry’s demands in a cost-effective and reliable way that maintains quality. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our friends at Kirkland UK for their invaluable guidance throughout this purchase.”
