The Professional Enology Certificate consists of a series of 10 courses held over a two year period. Within the enology program, a certificate will be issued for each of the component units upon satisfactory completion of course requirements. The classes are offered online, with three weekends of hands-on experiences required in Prosser, WA.

The rigor and quality of the programs is intended for those serious about, and preferably, professionally oriented to enology. Course materials will average a minimum of the equivalent of a 300 (junior/senior) level academic course.

Instructors are drawn from Washington State University, technically oriented members of the Washington wine industry, and, when necessary, out-of-state expertise with the caveat that information be directly applicable to Washington conditions.

Class size is limited to 30 participants to facilitate the student-faculty experience. We do have an extensive waiting list, so please put your name on the list now if you would like to be notified when the next program is starting.
