🏅 Exciting news from the Southern Oregon Wine Institute!
We're proud to announce that The Winery at UCC earned a Gold Medal for our 2023 Tempranillo and a Bronze Medal for our 2023 Pinot Noir at the 2026 West Coast College & University Wine Festival on June 13.
This was our first time participating in the competition, making the recognition even more meaningful. These award-winning wines were crafted by students in our Viticulture and Enology program, showcasing the talent, dedication, and hands-on learning that define the Southern Oregon Wine Institute.
Congratulations to our students, faculty, staff, and industry partners who helped make this achievement possible!
