At Pridham Viticulture, we understand the value of your grapes and provide efficient, cost-effective solutions to ensure a high-quality harvest.
Pridham Viticulture offers both mechanical and hand-picking services to cater to various vineyard requirements. Our mechanical harvesting fleet includes:
Our mechanized fleet, combined with the option for handpicking, provides flexibility. While machine harvesting is ideal for most operations, handpicking remains the preferred choice for specific crops, such as first-year vines, older vines, bush vines, and high-value varietals. Our skilled handpicking crews are experienced in managing jobs of any size, working to bring in your crop on time and in optimal condition.
Beyond harvesting, Pridham Viticulture offers full logistical support. From transport and winery coordination to on-site services, we manage all aspects of the harvest process, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
We provide both machine and hand-harvesting services across McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and the Fleurieu region.
