I Left My 6-Figure Desk Job in the US to Go Harvest Grapes in Austria

I Left My 6-Figure Desk Job in the US to Go Harvest Grapes in Austria

I’ve learned there’s no singular way to succeed in the wine industry.

Since leaving the US, I’ve found a community of wine professionals, including journalists, servers, and cellar hands.

They are some of the most open and selfless people, ready to share their connections, knowledge, and homes when they learned about my plans to work in vineyards and write while traveling.

Their boundless generosity has led me to gain experiences I wouldn’t have otherwise. For example, I spent time with a third-generation winemaker at his tiny vineyard in Slovenia, eating home-cured prosciutto and sipping through his entire portfolio.

On a recommendation from that Slovenian winery, a winemaker invited me to join a private cellar tasting with his harvest team in the Dolomites.

After that, I contacted a couple running a vineyard in the English countryside. They invited me to stay at their house to help them press grapes and bottle pet nat, a type of sparkling wine.

I’m now in England and leaving for Australia soon

I’m four months into my wine journey abroad and have no regrets.

Once my EU tourist visa expired, I came to the UK and am currently in England, working with one of the country’s few biodynamic wineries.

In three weeks, I will board a plane to spend a year in Australia on a Work and Holiday Visa. There, I accepted a job as a cellar hand on a winemaking team for their 2025 vintage.

I’ve been living off the money I earned at the Austrian vineyard and a modest budget I set aside from my previous job.

I have barely needed to dip into my savings, thanks to affordable hostel rooms, staying with friends and family, and winemakers opening their homes to me throughout my travels.

My belongings still fit (mostly) into two carry-ons. What I’ve gained, however, is a thousand new possibilities for my life, plus a few bottles of wine.
