Culinary Institute of America

Educational Institutions, St. Helena


Fodor's Review:

The West Coast headquarters of the Culinary Institute of America, the country's leading school for chefs, are in the Greystone Winery, a national historic landmark and an imposingly large stone building. The campus consists of 30 acres of herb and vegetable gardens, a 15-acre merlot vineyard, and a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, which is open to the public. Also on the property are a well-stocked culinary store that tempts aspiring chefs with gleaming gadgets, a quirky corkscrew display, and a culinary library. One-hour cooking demonstrations take place one to three times a day on most days; the schedule varies so call ahead.
