The Southern Oregon Wine Institute is a division of Umpqua Community College (Roseburg, Oregon) that is engaged in developing and delivering an instructional program in Viticulture and Enology to serve students from a seven county area in southern Oregon. We serve Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry, Klamath and southern Lane counties. Students are taught in an Online/Hybrid method with lecture components delivered at a distance in on-demand, web-based formats while the laboratory components are delivered in face-to-face sessions at UCC and local vineyards and wineries.

In addition to our educational mission, the Southern Oregon Wine Institute provides service to southern Oregon through economic development initiatives that promote the growth and development of the grape and wine industries.

The Southern Oregon Wine Institute's mission is to Create Sustainable Careers, Partnerships, Industry Support, and Economic Development within the Southern Oregon Wine Business Cluster through Education and Training.
