Would second that. I've worked in vineyards at the end of summer in the Bourgogne region, never come across any foreign illegal workers there. It would be students and temporary workers from the area.
- mtremsal 9y agoThis is my experience as well, as the grand-child of a French winemaking coop member/owner. Regarding the harvest in particular, there used to be a tradition where people who came to help would be compensated with food and drinks at the end of the day, rather than a salary. Not sure if that's still the case now that mechanical harvesting is so common. At least I don't think one would have to pay to experience hand-picking, like some fancy American wineries require.
