WINE PRODUCTION

“I had no practical winemaking experience before studying - but I have now secured a fulltime winery role in one of the country’s most prominent wineries, which was only possible with the knowledge, experience and confidence gained through studying at Plumpton College. In addition, the ability to top up to the BSc provides a great deal of flexibility.”

Start your career in vines and wines in the heart of the South Downs. If you want to establish a new vineyard or a career in the wine production industry, either in the UK or internationally, then the wine production business course is for you.
