Made possible by the generosity of Robert and Margrit Mondavi, The Robert Mondavi Institute was founded at The University of California, Davis, to enhance our quality of life through wine, brewing, and food sciences.
The Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at UC Davis was founded by Robert and Margrit Mondavi to further research and education of viticulture and food sciences. The Mondavi Institute joins the world-renowned departments of Viticulture and Enology and Food Science and Technology at UC Davis under one roof.
UC Davis has a rich history of excellence in the wine and food sciences. For more than 125 years, the University of California has maintained active research and education programs in viticulture, enology and food science. No other academic institution can boast the rare combination of the premier College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, a large agricultural sector renowned for its fine wine and diverse food production, and the uniqueness of California cuisine.
The Robert Mondavi Institute allows the campus to house two departments -- Viticulture and Enology, and Food Science and Technology -- under one roof in a state-of-the-art facility. These departments, recognized as the best in the world in their respective areas of scholarship, are linked with other disciplines investigating the role of healthy and safe foods in the quality of life.
The institute is the gateway between UC Davis and a broad community of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, industry professionals and technologists engaged in all dimensions of wine- and food science-related activities. The institute is the global innovator in university-based wine and food sciences research, education and outreach.
