The Viticulture Club at California State University, Fresno is a student organization within the Department of Viticulture and Enology focused on bridging the gap between the university and the grape industry. The Viticulture Club is one of the oldest clubs on campus starting back in 1952. We’re one of the most active clubs on campus. Each November, members host our Annual Fall Harvest Dinner. This popular affair of live and silent auctions attracts friends and alumni and helps raise funds for our yearly activities, as well as annual scholarships. The club also hosts two major FFA statewide events – the Vine Pruning Contest in February and the Vine Judging Contest in April. These events are held on the Fresno State campus. These two events bring both high school and college students to meet our alumni, who provide substantial support to our club throughout the year. The Viticulture Club provides club members with the opportunity to volunteer in a variety of social events throughout the year, from pruning vines to barbequing for alumni at tailgate events. Our club is always hard at work expanding our knowledge, networks, and experiences.







We as a club have made it our mission to do our part in helping the Department of Viticulture & Enology rebuild the greenhouse that has since fallen into disrepair. We have had tremendous support from alumni and the grape and wine industry, yet we have fallen short of what is needed to rebuild it. The price tag for the rebuild kept on going up and now we're asking your help in closing the gap. With your support we will be able to have a brand new facility where students and staff can come together and have a hands on learning environment. We want our students to be the best educated Viticulturist’s when they leave Fresno State and with this new greenhouse it will help them be.







Thank you for all your support!
