Vi•ti•cul•ture - n. : the cultivation or culture of grapes
Enol•o•gy - n. :a science that deals with wine and wine making
The V&E Department combines the sciences of viticulture and enology in a single research and teaching unit that encompasses all of the scientific disciplines that impact grape growing and winemaking. For over one hundred years the University of California has maintained an active and productive program in research and education in viticulture and enology. The continuing excellence of the Department has enabled California growers and vintners to develop practices that have allowed the Golden State to achieve its potential and become a premier wine-producing region.
UC Davis Extension Short Courses
The University of California offers many courses to the general public to assist in furthering their educational goal. These courses are offered through the university's outreach division UC Davis Extension. While UC Davis Extension offers courses for a wide variety of topics, in conjunction with the Department of Viticulture & Enology, they have developed a number of excellent wine making and grape growing classes. Within the last few years we have begun to adapt classes so that they may be offered as distance learning courses via the internet.
More information on class schedules and requirements can be found on the University Extension web site.
