California Wine University

Uniting todays vintners and growers with the next generation of wine enthusiasts.Our mission is to provide accelerated learning to the students who want to concentrate on only the fundamentals of winemaking. Our goal is to get the student out into the world faster through a one year comprehensive program. We are not a traditional liberal arts college. We do not require Literature or Philosophy or General Education courses. We are only about Wine.California Wine University was founded in the spirit of lending a hand to the struggling vintner and vineyard owner and guiding them toward a better tomorrow. Our enormously popular volunteer program and our hands-on teaching program both embody and keep that spirit very much alive. Our Hands On Vine Network provides such socially disadvantaged vintners and farmers, as well as beginning vintners and farmers, with outreach, technical assistance, training, and educational services. We are committed to providing them with education, innovation and advocacy so that they can remain economically viable, feasible and competitive, especially in this challenging economy. Which is why our motto is: Education. Innovation. Advocacy.
