<p>Just a few off the top of my head. And I googled “wine tasting college”.</p>

7

<p>UC Davis. It’s actually a serious, science-based class, not the party that I think you are imagining.</p>

8

<p>No schools can do wine tasting with the under 21 set.</p>

9

<p>UPenn does as a “preceptorial.” Not a class, but a very popular event for upperclassmen :)</p>

10

<p>Penn State, but my Senior was never able to get into the class - always overbooked.</p>

11

<p>^ No way! Drinkers at Penn State? :slight_smile: Just kidding, it’s a great school.</p>

12

<p>Maybe Northwestern Michigan, located in Traverse City, very famous for its wine making.</p>

13

<p>Virginia Tech has a class (Wines & Vines, 3 credits in Food Science and Technology/Horticulture). Students must be 21 to register. VT seems to have quite a program of wine-related classes: [url=<a href=“http://www.vtwines.info/]http://www.vtwines.info/[/url”>http://www.vtwines.info/]http://www.vtwines.info/[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;

<p>hmom5-- from what I understand, Cornell’s "Beverage Management " class is open to hotel students , even if they are not 21. All other students must be 21.</p>

<p>Btw, this is not, I understand, an easy course. It is not just sitting around drinking! Oh well!</p>

15

<p>We have a class in Oenology here at Temple.</p>

16

<p>Eton has a wine tasting society and a shool bar for those in the top two years (16-18)</p>
