CAL POLY’S TRESTLE

Cal Poly’s 14-acre Trestle Vineyard, which includes the H. Paul Fountain Teaching Vineyard and the Commercial Vineyard, provides students with invaluable Learn by Doing opportu- nities. Replanted in 2015, the vineyard was intentionally designed to allow for hands-on teaching in site evaluation and development, pest management, and state-of-the-art cul- tural practices. The Trestle Vineyard promotes environmentally and economically sustain- able vineyard practices. AND COURSES THAT UTILIZE VINEYARD LANDSCAPE THE TRESTLE VINEYARD H. PAUL FOUNTAIN TEACHING VINEYARD
