grape picker

Vineyard harvest laborer

A grape picker is a person who harvests grapes, typically working in vineyards during the autumn harvest season.

The work is often seasonal and labor-intensive, associated with wine-producing regions.

Mechanical grape pickers—machines that shake vines to dislodge fruit—have largely replaced hand-picking in commercial operations, though premium wines still rely on manual selection.
