However, it was definitely very sunny - suspect August/September time! In any case, exactly when is best to approach a vineyard will depend on when the vine is ripe/approaching harvest. This will depend upon where it is in France, what the local weather has been like that year, and how that species of vine ripens. In other words, you're probably best just finding somewhere you like, and plan on hanging around for a bit, or else telephone in advance. Have fun!

You can just turn up (what I did) as, like most agricultural/seasonal jobs, they'll take anyone willing on a first come first served basis. Good luck and have a great time!

They will remove oxygen from pottery and glazes. Modern kilns add oxygen. The result is that if you bake two pieces of identical pottery, one in a modern kiln and one in an Iron Age kiln, you will produce results that are radically different.
