Project Case Study
The purpose of the Case Study is to develop ‘your own' Winery which would include a Cellar Door/Tasting Room and Food operation in a given wine region. This will require your group to evaluate the region, potential competitors, and tourism initiatives of the region. You can choose where you would like your winery to be located within a wine region which is also where your cellar door will be located.
