SDSU Business of Wine Program Debuts Wine Education Abroad: Spain 2015

Would you like to partake in a professional wine and cuisine immersion in the Catalonia, Rioja, and Basque regions of Spain next fall?

SDSU’s College of Extended Studies is debuting wine education abroad, October 9-17, 2015, as part of its Professional Certificate in the Business of Wine program.

Students will take their knowledge of wine – and their sense of carpe diem – to the next level via a private, guided experience in some of Spain’s most renowned wine and food regions. They will contrast the traditions of centuries-old wineries versus modern ones, sample wines straight from the barrel, walk through vineyards by the sea, learn the harvest process, prune grapevines, and even crush grapes underfoot.

Along the way, they will dine everywhere from an ancient wine cave to a medieval village to modernist pintxos bars.

Program features include:

• 24-hour bilingual, local guide
• Private transportation
• Private sommelier-level tours
• Private wine and food tastings at wineries and restaurants
• Private tours of vineyards and museums
• Private wine classes daily
