Award-Winning Student Wines
Each year, FLCC students go head to head with some of the best winemakers throughout the state. Each year, our student-made wines earn medals.
Driven by a passion for winemaking
Winning awards is exhilarating, but it's also the direct result of the hard work and passion that our students and instructors bring to the Viticulture and Wine Technology program.
Hands-on learning, teamwork with classmates, and a thorough education in all aspects of the wine industry ready our students to create wines that stack up against the toughest competition. It's because of their program experiences that they are able to create award-winning wines. This program is designed for passionate and driven students of all ages who are excited about winemaking.
