Niagara Grape & Wine Festival 2018 Volunteer Programme

Welcome to the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival #VolunTeam!

We're thrilled that you'll be joining us, sharing your love of Niagara and our fantastic wineries with event attendees.

We are currently recruiting for the 2018 Grape and Wine Festival September 21-30

We do, however, hope that you'll click the "keep me posted about more volunteer opportunities" so we can truly make you a part of the family.

As a part of our team, you will receive:

- refreshments and a yummy meal during your shift

- a training session that will get you prepared for your volunteer experience AND teach you about Niagara wines (special educated tasting with a winemaker or sommelier)
