What follows are the Top Five Reasons for all wine marketing geeks to attend the inaugural UC Davis Wine Executive Program called, “Wine Packaging Strategy: Decide, Design, Impress.”
This definitely falls into the category of, “We’re so lucky to live out here with these kinds of resources.” I have to thank my Santa Rose Junior College days of getting ingrained into the wine business in a short amount of time, since I lost out on the experiences of being born into the the business and just having it ingrained. UC Davis is a central location for all of us in Northern California.
For the record, Fresno State is the southern answer to UC Davis’s programs. As well as Santa Rose Junior college, that I’ve mentioned, noted as the second best in the US, so is the following:
- Sonoma State’s program
- Napa Valley College
Here’s why they offer so much…
- Many people in the California wine business are willing to help educate an upcoming crew.
- These are well recognized wine professionals with not only the academics behind them (for the most part), but they’ve also got years of experiential learning to back up their theories.
Executive programs in viticulture, enology, marketing, and wine sales are superior and empowering. I’ve taken a plethora of classes, and know this to be true. If you can hitch your wagon, too, go for it, friends.
From a PRESS RELEASE, with some graphic highlights on my own end:
