An Italian winery became a classroom for students in the School of Hospitality at Metropolitan State University. This summer, Michael Wray, Ph.D., and Bernardo Alatorre took study-abroad students on a private tour of the Banfi Winery in Montalcino, Italy, in Tuscany in early June. The winery sponsors students to attend an International Studies class in which Wray and Alatorre discuss the importance of the Banfi Winery and its impact on the American market. In 2023, Banfi sold 10 million bottles of wine, led by its award-winning Brunello.
