  California is famous for the superb quality of both its wine and food. The Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at UC Davis aims to play a central role in keeping that reputation proud. The Institute’s state-of-the-art research facilities have contributed to the products found in every supermarket department. The complex includes a teaching and research winery, pilot brewery, milk processing laboratory, food innovation kitchen, honey and pollination center, olive center, organic food garden, and even a tomato processing pilot plant.

  
  

  Learn about the research and education happening at the Institute on a tour with your fellow NCSWANs. We’ll hear talks on institute research, tour the winery, and try an example of the enologic arts.
