Certificate Description

Have you wondered about the work that goes into making a perfect glass of wine that engages the senses? There are many commonly held beliefs about wine grape production, with some more true than others. Yet one thing is certain: Winemaking is so much more than just crushing grapes.

In this certificate program, you will take an introductory look at the art and science of viticulture and enology, or the study and practice of grape farming and winemaking. You will embark on a journey that will take you from unearthing the historical foundation of this timeless tradition to exploring modern challenges and developments, all while sharpening your skills toward becoming a wine professional and an expert at the table. As you go on this winemaking journey, you will enhance your knowledge of grape production and winemaking from the ground, to the grape, to the glass.

Note: You will be asked to purchase wines and other materials for various activities and projects.
