CIA at Copia (The Culinary Institute of America at Copia)

CIA at Copia was terrific. We took a cooking class and then tried the tasting vending machines. Was definitely a rememberable time.

I really enjoyed visiting CIA at Copia. The museum is quiet and peaceful, and the garden is beautiful, especially the gorgeous tomatoes! It’s a very nice, easy walk and a relaxing place to spend some time. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Napa.

We took the Julia Child Cooking class. Chef Skylar was a great teacher. We really enjoyed it all. Can't wait to try a boot camp!

Definitely worth a stop. Be sure to check out the upstairs collection of cookware, molds, and huge teaching kitchen. The Grove Restaurant on-site was very good. Some nice vegetarian options if that's your thing. Service was slow and inattentive but perhaps that was just the night we went. Would go again and recommend visiting here.

What a happy surprise touring this place. The setting is inviting with high ceilings and lots of light. They have a wall that is hall of fame of wine with plaques for famous people in the winemaking world, and a culinary museum which was unexpectedly interesting and fun, and nice gift shop with unusual and high quality offerings for anyone who cooks or as a gift for friends or family who like to cook. They also have a very cool wine tasting set up which is automated (you pay with a credit card choose a nice glass and then select the type of wine you’d like to try and the amount you’d like and a dispenser pours it for you). Nice seating area nearby. Didn’t have dinner there so can’t speak to that (but it’s got to be good). Anyway, fun stop before or after Oxbow next door.

A Memorable Culinary Experience at CIA Napa – Thanks to Claudia! I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, the food is masterfully prepared, and the location in the heart of wine country couldn't be more perfect. What truly elevated our visit, however, was the exceptional service provided by our server, Claudia. From the moment we were seated, Claudia made us feel genuinely welcomed. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about every dish and wine pairing, and had a warm, professional demeanor that made our experience feel personal and special. Claudia anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, offered thoughtful suggestions from the menu, and made sure every course was timed perfectly. Her passion for hospitality and deep understanding of the culinary arts clearly reflect the high standards of the CIA. If you're visiting Napa, a stop at the Culinary Institute is a must – and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Claudia, you’re in for a true five-star experience.

Perfect spot to enjoy the Annual Black Food and Wine Festival 🍷 😋 Had a spectacular time with beautiful black happy people enjoying food and amazing wine from black own people. This venue was big, spacious and provided and outdoor space for vendors and many of us dancing. together.
