Aim of the program
Acquire and diversify vine and wine-related knowledge for more effective communication in this field.
Communicate, understand, learn about and take your first steps in the world of oenology.
Oenology is the scientific study of the transformation of grapes into wine, with contributions from numerous stakeholders in the field. Oenology is therefore a vast discipline but a complete overview of the subject is essential to understanding all of its intricacies. The DUIO therefore offers a comprehensive introduction to all the different aspects of the wine sector. The teaching delivered in this program covers all of the following fields: the vineyard and its history, vinification stages, different types of wine, different stakeholders in the sector and an introduction to tasting. At the end of this program, you will be able to understand and share your knowledge of the entire oenological sector.
The teaching will be delivered over a period of six weeks between October and May. This program consists of 3 training cycles (elementary level) that can be followed continuously or independently in 50-hour cycles in order to adapt this program to suit your personal or professional commitments.
- Understand the vineyard and its history
- Learn about the different vinification stages and identify the different types of wines
- Find out about the key players in the sector and learn the rudiments of wine tasting
