Aphrodity Cretan, who turned 100 in January, picked fruit at Splitters Creek Vineyard on Friday morning, an outing she's enjoyed on and off for about a decade.
Friend Harry Bakouris said Mrs Cretan collected as many, sometimes more, grapes as others who helped him.
"She had to have a walking stick, but she never used it, she left it in the car," he said.
"She likes work, she doesn't want to sit still."

Vineyard owner Stephen Altmeier said family groups coming to pick excess grapes had become an annual tradition and Mrs Cretan remained "certainly willing and able" to join in.
"They got out here at 8.30am and she didn't stop the whole time, she just kept working," he said.
Born in Crete, Mrs Cretan came to Australia to marry her late husband Nicholas, becoming known as Mrs Nick. The couple ran cafes in first Holbrook, then Albury.
