Now launching, Sword & Cellar unveils its first collection of wines, selected by a volunteer alumni tasting panel.

What makes Sword & Cellar truly special? Every detail of the wine experience is driven by the UCF alumni community. The wine labels are designed and voted on by alumni, making the bottles a personal piece of UCF pride. Whether you’re savoring a glass on your own or sharing with friends, each bottle tells a story of creativity, collaboration and celebration of UCF’s culture. With convenient shipping across the country, you can be connected to fellow Knights with your wine delivered right to your doorstep. Sold in packs of 3, Sword & Cellar is perfect for gifting, collecting or enjoying.

Every dollar goes back to supporting UCF Alumni experiences and programming – so you know you’ve made a difference with every sip.

Join us in this new alumni program, where every bottle delivers a memorable tasting experience and provides philanthropic support across the university. Cheers to Knight Nation—one sip at a time!
