Description:
The Wine Studies program has four majors: Wine Hospitality and Direct Marketing, Wine Marketing, Enology, and Wine Cellar Worker, to prepare students for a variety of positions in the wine industry.
The Wine Studies: Wine Cellar Worker degree teaches students, through hands-on experience, the theory and practices used in the production of wine, including basic grape growing practices and vineyard decisions, steps in the winemaking process from harvest to bottling, basic wine lab analyses, and the use of winery production equipment. Students can also get a general background in the wines of Sonoma County and the world.
The Wine Studies: Wine Cellar Worker degree prepares students for entry-level positions as wine cellar workers. If students later choose to advance in responsibility to jobs such as assistant winemaker or wine laboratory technicians, they can take the classes required for the Wine Studies: Enology certificate or major. The Wine Studies: Wine Cellar Worker and Wine Studies: Enology degrees differ primarily in the chemistry and wine lab classes required for the Enology certificate.
For students interested in the Wine Studies: Wine Cellar Worker Certificate of Achievement, please see SRJC’s certificate website.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Execute all tasks required of an entry-level wine cellar worker.
- Describe the reason for winemaking procedures that are executed by a cellar worker.
