Our centre is truly interdisciplinary, spanning six different faculties and two campuses (Vancouver and Okanagan) with fourteen current members actively working in three pillars of wine related research.

Viticulture and Soil
Understanding the biological processes that regulate grape quality, identifying the best sites and soils, developing the best strategies to improve grape quality in vineyards are key strategies to sustain the production of premium wines.
