The Department of Viticulture and Enology had a wonderful, comfortably cool, outdoor in-person graduation celebration for our students receiving a BS or MS in Viticulture and Enology on Friday, June 16, 2023. V & E Chair and Professor, David Block, got the festivities started and Greg Hirson, V & E alumnus (MS 2008) and Vice President of Products at Cork Supply, was the graduation speaker.  Professors Block and Montpetit and graduate and undergraduate advisor, Liz Price, then presented the 2023 graduates and citation recipients.

For two decades, the Department of Viticulture & Enology has offered VEN 3 “Introduction to Winemaking” as a Summer Study Abroad.  The location of this Study Abroad is in the historic city of Dijon, France–the capital of Burgundy.
