First-year Winery and Viticulture Technician students get stomping at the NC Teaching Winery September 8.

Niagara College wine students are kicking off their shoes and jumping in with both feet when it comes to an introduction to winemaking.

Students from the Winery and Viticulture Technician, and Wine Business Management programs have the opportunity to participate in the annual Foot Stomp at the NC Teaching Winery; WVT students on September 8 and WBM students on the morning of September 13.

Led by wine professor Ron Giesbrecht, the students gain hands-on – or, more accurately, ‘feet-on’ – experience in this ancient winemaking practice, and learn how it still has value today.

This marks the fourth annual foot stomp at Niagara College.
