This week our ROP Marketing and Economics of Business Ownership students went on a field trip to Wente Family Vineyards where they met with Tom Godfrey, Senior Director of Operations.

The students were able to see the entire process of making a bottle of wine. This included seeing where the grapes are taken to be weighed and crushed, visiting the barrel room, learning how wine is filtered and transported to the bottles and seeing how the bottles get filled, corked, labeled and packaged. They also had the opportunity to learn about different careers within the industry.

A big thank you to Tom Godfrey and Wente Family Vineyards for hosting our students!

Please vote for Stephen!
