vineyard harvest and picking grapes

Due to the many hillsides of Willamette, harvesting is largely done by hand. Most of the vineyard workforce is made up of Mexican immigrants, like Javier Garcia (photographed) who is now picking his 33rd vintage in Oregon. The tech and industry boom in Portland and around Oregon has created more competition for the viticulture industry, and experienced vineyard workers like Javier are becoming an increasingly scarce and valued resource.
