The Culinary Institute of America

Nestled in the heart of the Napa Valley, just two hours north of San Francisco, is The Culinary Institute of America's West Coast campus. Since 1995, the CIA at Greystone has provided continuing education opportunities and career development programs for food, wine and hospitality. Today, the California campus is expanding its services to include food industry business solutions, such as custom programs and research and development consultation. Educational courses, ranging from foundation and advanced studies to culinary arts degree and certificate programs, supply training in the culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, foodservice management and professional wine development.

Along with superior facilities, a renowned faculty and a vast selection of innovative year-round programs, Greystone hosts public cooking demonstrations, special events, seminars and travel programs. The annual Worlds of Flavor Seminar and Conference attracts over 600 industry specialists each year. Recent additions to the campus include the Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies, the Chuck Williams Flavor Center for Flavor Discovery and the Ventura MenuMasters Center for R&D. Visitors to The Culinary Institute of America in California can dine at the school's Wine Spectator Restaurant and shop at the Spice Islands Marketplace for cookware, bakeware, culinary tools and specialty food products. There's simply no better place to experience the mingling of food and wine.
