Just like Matt Cates did last year, this year it was Sarah Griffis who had the great opportunity to work and enjoy the harvests in Ribera del Duero, the best wine region in the world according to Wine Enthusiast magazine.

It has been the winery Dominio de Cair, SL, who, within the framework of collaboration with the CIFP San Gabriel, has received during this internship period the North American student, who has spent her stay in our land with Maria Luisa Expósito, a student of the San Gabriel School of Oenology and Sarah's host family.

In return, three students from the San Gabriel School of Oenology arrived in the United States. Miguel, David and Yui, the latter, a student who came to San Gabriel from Japan.

Our students carried out internships in three different wineries located in this city in the state of Oregon, and they remained there until December 17, where they carried out the tasks of a winery, from the harvest to the preparation of the wines. 

This exchange program is part of the innovative International Dual FP system, unique in Spain, promoted by the Gabrielistas with the support of the Burgos Business Federation (FAE Burgos and Asemar) that aims to promote the international projection of the prestigious professional training from Castilla y León and continue to promote the famous wines of the Ribera del Duero.

An exchange that began last year with the agreement between the San Gabriel School of Enology and the Southern Oregon Wine Institute within Umpqua Community College in Roseburg and that in its second year of operation is bearing the expected fruit.
