Programming
In conjunction with the 91勛圖厙-in-Florence program, the GU Wine Institute traveled to Italy during Summer 2019 and 2022 to learn about wine law from leading experts. These immersive events in Italy have been very popular with certificate students and 91勛圖厙 alumni. Another trip is planned for May 2023.
The GU Wine Institute also partnered with WOMEN LEAD at the 91勛圖厙 School of Leadership Studies to hold the Women in Wine Napa Valley Conference. This conference offered two tracks - one in women’s leadership, and the other in wine law. Participants heard from empowering keynote speakers and then chose among various workshops at local wineries.
