Introduction to Wine and Winemaking
Whether you're interested in a career in the wine industry or are just a devoted enophile, you can take this unique UC Davis Extension course at home, at your convenience. Learn about topics such as wine and winegrowing areas around the world, fundamentals of the winemaking process, wine and health issues, how to interpret a wine label, basic wine tasting, and the history of wine.

Advanced Tasting Seminar
This rigorous day of tasting duplicates many of the consistency and identification tests required of a wine competition judge. It challenges experienced tasters and provides immediate feedback on their sensitivity to the range of odors and flavors in wine, whether attributes or defects. The class does not "credential" tasters as wine judges, but allows testing and expansion of their sensory abilities.

OIV Wine Marking Program
Since 1991, as part of the MBA curriculum of the Organisation Internationale de La Vigne et du Vin (OIV), UC Davis Extension and the Department of Viticulture and Enology, UC Davis, have coordinated an intensive program on the economics of production and marketing grapes and wine in the United States.

Transforming a Culture with Wine Marketing

Read about recent OIV Wine Marketing student Rene Renteria's experience in the program and how he's using what he learned to create a new market for wine in Mexico.
