Industry Work Experiences
With a BS in Wine and Viticulture from Cal Poly, you are ready to enter the international workplace with a deep understanding of all aspects of wine, and solid work experience through the Internship Program. Cal Poly graduates can be found in all aspects of the wine industry, from growers to bottlers to social media experts.
Students in the major are required to complete an internship before graduating. We have interns this harvest in Spain, Germany, Washington, Oregon and California. Check out some of the awesome places you can find WVIT students:
