Education
The UBC Wine Research Centre offers unique opportunities for people to learn about grapes and wine — whether you are pursuing credit courses, enhancing your professional knowledge, or advancing your research — we have a diverse range of courses, laboratories and workshops to explore.
Our centre operates out of two campuses, both set within key regions of the BC wine territory, and which provide exceptional resources along with leading UBC researchers with deep expertise in a range of disciplines.
From growing wines to tasting them, we embrace a spirit of teaching and learning that will benefit anyone embarking on their wine education journey. We encourage you to explore our courses, laboratories, workshops, and co-ops and connect with us to find the right program for your interests.
