Hands-on learning prepares our students for the real world.
Fresno State is the first to have a licensed, bonded, commercial winery on a university campus in the United States.
Our on-campus vineyard produces raisin, wine, and table grapes.
Our student-produced wines have received nearly 300 awards at commercial wine competitions.
We have a history of strong industry partnerships.
