Picking since 1994

The story of Apcon

My story

Who are we!
For as long as I can remember, my father has gone grape-picking every year and come back happy and with great stories. When I was 18, I was allowed to come along for the first time, since then I have also been in the vineyards every year, I love it.

I fell in love with the beautiful environment, the people and picking. That is why, since 2020, I have taken over Apcon from my father and now lovingly help as many people as possible to have a unique experience as a picker!

How it all began.

La France 1994′

Almost 30 years ago, as a 20-year-old student, my father went grape picking for the first time. From the first moment, he loved it! And to this day, he still goes grape picking every year, "Relaxed, nice work and clearing my head."

Many people asked him for contact details of farmers after his stories. Farmers were then and still are, barely visible online, so you had to know them to pick. That's why he started Apcon in 1994 and started connecting pickers and farmers!

I want to pick!

However, we want to warn you.

Disclaimer

After two weeks in a vineyard or a southern orchard, you are dead tired, fulfilled and so restless that you probably don't want to go home; in love with the region or with someone.

I want to pick!

Will I see you in France, Spain or Greece this summer?
