Established on the Davis campus in 1935 following the repeal of Prohibition, this research department combines the sciences of viticulture (cultivation of grapevines) and enology (the study of wine and winemaking) in a single research and teaching unit that encompasses all of the scientific disciplines that impact grape growing and winemaking: chemistry, genetics, microbiology, chemical engineering, horticulture, biochemistry, plant physiology, and sensory science. The department is celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2020.
