We got a tour of the campus winery today in Introduction to Winemaking.
The Teaching Winery
The teaching winery is used to teach volume production of wines. It's still low volume, but much bigger than the few gallons produced at a time in the research winery.
The big fermentation tanks
The crusher-destemmer
The wine press - a pneumatic bladder press.
The Research Winery
The research winery is used for smaller scale research production of wines. A lot of small (2-3 gallon) samples of wine can be produced in parallel here.
Another crusher-destemmer
Another wine press. This one is a basket press
The Wine Cellar
Aging wines in oak barrels
Some of the oldest bottles in the cellar
