Dialogue with these workers can give context to activities surrounding the winemaking professions found in Gielinor.
Functions

Through various conversations, players can learn about the different types of grapes that are grown and how they can grow their own grapes by utilizing the Farming skill. Additionally, the workers also promote the importance of farming mechanics in the game, guiding players interested in wine-making.
Related Activities
