This is a work-based experience requiring 90 hours of logged participation in vineyard operations at an external commercial vineyard or other approved site. All internship placements must be approved in advance by the instructor. Students will gain hands-on experience in vineyard management, including vine training and trellising, canopy management, pest and disease management, seasonal vineyard maintenance, and general vineyard operations. VITI 291 is a work-based co-op experience, not an instructed class. It is intended for students completing their vineyard training off-site. On-campus students seeking a more instructional, guided experience should register for VITI 121 – Field Methods in Viticulture instead. Prerequisites: VITI 110, and VITI 120 (VITI 120 can be taken concurrently)
Prerequisites: VITI 110, VITI 120
