Viticulture & Enology
Welcome
Get involved with Oklahoma viticulture and enology
Since the late 1800s, Oklahoma State University (then called Oklahoma A&M College)
has been involved with viticulture throughout the state. However, the recent expansion
of the wine-making industry has demanded that OSU address viticulture and enology
issues with greater urgency. In 2000, the first Grape Management Short Course was
held at the Herman Hinrichs Conference Center at the OSU Perkins Fruit and Nut Research
Station (now the Cimarron Valley Research Station). The course continues to thrive
and has had excellent enrollment since its inception. Involved with teaching this
course are university professors and other individuals with ties to the industry.
Who We Are
OSU strives to provide the best educational opportunities to address issues that concern
Oklahoma grape growers and wine makers. Research also plays an important role in our
viticultural and enological efforts and we will continue to expand these efforts.
We have had a large cultivar and rootstock trial vineyard at Perkins since 2001 which
has yielded a tremendous amount of information with direct applicability to Oklahoma
grape growers. Great potential exists in Oklahoma for growing grapes and making wine
of high quality and our team of experts at OSU will be in the vanguard to aid the
industry in developing a strong, sustainable future.
