CIA Samplings

Sample a CIA Cooking Class in California

Have you been thinking about taking a cooking class at our California campus but only have a couple of hours to spare? Then consider CIA Samplings. These intensive weekend cooking classes let you sample the world-famous CIA education experience.

Cooking Demo, Hands-on, and Tastings—All in Two Hours
In each of these fun and informative classes at our Napa Valley campus, you will:

  • Take in a lecture and cooking demonstration.
  • Join classmates in preparing a variety of flavorful small plates.
  • Enjoy the dishes you've cooked paired with a glass of wine.
  • Take your knowledge of new ingredients and cooking techniques home to your own kitchen.

Inspired Cooking Classes, from California and the World
As soon as you step into the bright, expansive Greystone teaching kitchen, you'll embark on an exciting culinary journey. Learn to create tasty dishes inspired by the Napa Valley way of life. Let our chef introduce you to exotic culinary destinations such as the traditional tapas bars of Spain, small village cafes along the Mediterranean coast, and crowded casbahs of Northern Africa. Or, explore Latin American cuisine or Middle Eastern street foods. No need to book a flight—our cooking demos and hands-on cooking instruction will take you there!

Please note: You must be at least 18 years old to attend our CIA Samplings classes. The only exception is Parent and Teen Day offered twice a year at the Hyde Park, NY campus.

"We couldn't have asked for a better treat. The class and instructors were an absolute joy. We've already made three of the dishes we learned in the class—and signed up for another date."

Sean Brusky and Amanda Hollis-Brusky, San Francisco, CA

"It was a treat to work with your world-class chef-instructors in a remarkable facility. Many of the class food projects, especially the Ecuadorian pork hornanda, are going into my permanent file. I'll be back to do it again."

Larry Hay, Port Orchard, WA
