Due to size of the participating boutique wineries, the intern is an integral part of the operation. Each winery and vintner varies, as does each situation. Once your application has been accepted and approved you will be contacted on all specifics

The scholarship monies are to assist in the costs of living expenses while interning. The scholarship reward is for $5,000.00.
