Kloster Pforta Winery – Saale-Unstrut, Germany
Kloster Pforta is one of Germany’s most historic wine estates, with more than 900 years of winegrowing tradition. Today, we cultivate around 50 hectares of vineyards in the Saale-Unstrut region and combine this heritage with a modern, quality-focused approach to viticulture and winemaking.
For harvest 2026, we are looking for motivated and open-minded cellar assistants to join our team from early September until the end of the year.
We are particularly interested in people who appreciate precise, origin-driven wines and who are curious about a more Burgundy-inspired approach to winemaking — balancing tradition, craftsmanship and contemporary cellar work.

• Working with stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels
• Grape reception and processing
• Fermentation monitoring and analysis
• Racking, cleaning and general cellar operations
• Maintaining high hygiene and quality standards
• Supporting the cellar team in all harvest-related activities
What we are looking for
• Previous cellar and harvest experience
• Logical thinking and a hands-on mentality
• Open-minded attitude and willingness to learn
• Interest in Burgundian-style winemaking
• Reliable, practical and team-oriented personality
• English required
• German is not mandatory
• Spanish is an advantage
What we offer
• A harvest experience at one of Germany’s historic wine estates
• Work focused on quality-driven and site-driven wines
• Hands-on experience with both modern and traditional cellar techniques
• An international and motivated working environment
• Accommodation provided
