Vineyards are bringing people in from as far as Poland to do harvest.
Very hard to find people willing to do this kind of work. You would
have no trouble finding work, but only during the harvest season,
depending on where you land, anytime from end of august to early
october. Conditions are regulated by government, pay is not great but
you get lodging and it is a great experience.

I believe you are an EU citizen, you will find plenty of web sites
describing how to go about finding such work.
