Bachelor in Winemaking (Viticulture and Enology)

Viticulture and enology combines the study of cultivating juice and wine grapes with the study of wines and winemaking.

Core courses introduce students to grapevine physiology and grape production, microclimate and soils, grape and vine diseases and pests, the chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology of fruit and wine, wine processing, and vineyard and winery management systems. All students complete internships in a vineyard and a winery to acquire practical skills.

This interdisciplinary program is offered through the University's Integrated Plant Sciences degree program, and draws on the expertise of WSU's departments of horticulture, food science, crop and soil sciences, plant pathology, entomology, and biological systems engineering.
