We have a challenge before us — to realize the maximum potential of the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science (RMI). To fully maximize the vision of the institute, we need to raise additional private support from donors, alumni, parents, supporters and friends like you.
With your help, UC Davis will take its food and wine programs to the next level of excellence and help those industries in those vital sectors prepare for future challenges.
Construction of the Academic Buildings for the Department of Viticulture and Enology and the Department of Food Science and Technology is partially funded through the generous support of private donors and the people of the state of California, who approved the K - Higher Education Bond Act of 2004 and UC Davis.
The Anheuser-Busch Brewing and Food Science Laboratory and the Teaching and Research Winery are also planned for the Institute's complex of research and teaching facilities.
