Fields of Opportunity

Fields of Opportunity - why should students participate?

Fields of Opportunity is a great opportunity for students to explore a career in the wine industry. They will have an opportunity to work with Napa Valley Grapegrowers throughout the summer to learn various aspects of the vineyard business as well as soft-skills career training. The opportunities are paid and could include, but are not limited to, the vit tech team, irrigation department, tasting room, office, vineyards, or winery production.

"I have been having a blast at my work. It's a great environment to be in. I have been learning a lot about the field I plan to be working in for the rest of my life. It's a learning experience that goes above just working with wine, but also for every day life things."
-Andrea
