The non-credit Wine Making certificate provides a thorough understanding of the wine making process, grape growing, chemistry, winery equipment, mixology, and bottling, packaging and labeling of a final wine product.

Course materials are delivered via three formats:

• Video courses which students can watch at self-determined times
• Instructor led weekly Zoom discussions
• On-site winery visit: mandatory class meeting on a Saturday or full weekend at participating wineries (students must be 21 years of age to participate in the Wine Sensory tasking weekend)

Course Fee: The cost of each course is $750. The Wine Sensory Evaluation and Wine Chemistry courses will be assessed an additional $50 lab fee. Weekend activities, including any necessary travel/accommodations, are at the student’s expense.
