Viticulture (from the Latin word for vine) refers to the cultivation of grapes, often for use in the production of wine. It is one branch of the science of horticulture.

By practice, viticulture is the science, production and study of grapes which deals with the series of events that occur in the vineyard. A viticulturalist's calendar includes studying the grapes being picked and transported to the winery, vine pruning during the winter months, ploughing soil to aerate and uncover the base of the vines, budburst and flowering of vines in the vinyard and observing the weeding a trimming of the vines for fruit development in the summer months. Viticulturalists are not winemakers as they do not actually produce the wines, but just observe and study the process.
