Expect Perfect Pairings

Washington State University and the Washington state wine industry.
Some things just belong together. They complement each other’s best qualities to create something greater than the sum of their parts. The result? A perfect pairing.
Combine WSU’s world-class viticulture and enology research program with a climate and country perfect for growing grapes, and you end up with the Washington wine industry and its international reputation for quality. The fruit of the university’s 70-year partnership with the state’s wine industry is bottled every year by the state’s more than 500 wineries. Washington is the second largest producer of premier wines in the country, and growing.
Combine WSU’s world-class, face-to-face educational offerings—graduate, undergraduate, and certificate programs—with budding scientists, and you end up with the next generation of fine winemakers. And since the wine industry isn’t just about wine, WSU also is training future leaders in hospitality, business, and marketing.
Combine WSU Extension’s in-the-field expertise with real-world winemakers facing real-world challenges and you end up with a partnership that puts identifying and solving industry problems first and foremost.
At WSU, we do the science, so wine lovers can call the result art. WSU and the Washington wine industry? A perfect pairing in every way. Expect no less.
