The Department of Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis is celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2020.  To celebrate this milestone, we are planning an all-class alumni get-together on April 24, 2020.

Be sure to save the date!  You won't want to miss this fun, informative program, the chance to see old friends, and an opportunity to expand your network.  We are planning a fun yet information-packed day.

Program highlights include:

UC Davis V&E Extension has had quite the busy winter and spring quarters. After hosting a booth and a reception at the Unified Wine and Grape Symposium, we began our series of On Campus and On the Road programs.
