San Diego State University’s College of Extended Studies will host a winter open house for its Professional Certificate in the Business of Wine program from 6-7:30 pm Monday, Jan. 25 at Splash Wine Bar, 3043 University Ave.

Attendees will meet instructors and fellow students, as well as learn more about the SDSU wine program. You must be at least 21 years of age to attend.

“Taking The Business of Wine classes did give me a lot of much-needed wine knowledge that was a must in opening and running my wine bar and restaurant,” said program graduate Traci Smith, owner of Splash Wine Bar. “I wouldn’t have felt at all comfortable taking on such a business without the education.”
