Located in the heart of California wine country and created through a partnership between the university and the wine industry, this is the first and only program in the United States to focus exclusively on the business aspects of the wine industry. The Wine Business Institute is located within the university's School of Business & Economics; a fully accredited AACSB institution. Sonoma State's program offers a specialized curriculum targeted on the business challenges of the wine industry. Courses are offered in Wine Marketing, Wine Finance and Accounting, Human Resources Management, Wine Business Strategies and Wine Production, Operations & Distribution.
Linda Nowak, Executive Director of the Wine Business Institute and Richard M. Kline, Founder and CEO, eWinery Solutions, are pleased to announce a unique opportunity that benefits both a local Sonoma winery and students in the Institute’s renowned Wine Business Program. The SSU Winery Website Challenge will create a brand new website absolutely free to a Sonoma-based winery and includes free hosting and maintenance services for one year from launch date. Complete information can be found at www.ssuwinerywebsitechallenge.com
The website will be designed and built by Sonoma State student teams in their BUS 467W, Wine E-Commerce & Direct Sales Class during the 2010 Spring semester, under the guidance and tutelage of Sonoma State faculty and eWinery Solutions management.
