About
CIA at Copia Cooking and Beverage Classes offers hands-on cooking classes, beverage classes, and Wine Bar tastings, along with special programs such as Culinary Basic Training Boot Camp, Bistro Cooking, and themed events like Inside Julia’s Kitchen: Celebrating French Cuisine. The program also includes experiences connected to wine and food history and culture, such as Quench: The Mount “Crushmore” of American Wine and the Judgment of Paris 50th Anniversary Celebration.
CIA at Copia Cooking and Beverage Classes takes place within a larger food-focused destination that also offers dining in a garden-to-table restaurant, shopping in a marketplace, visiting the Chuck Williams Culinary Arts Museum, exploring art installations and exhibits, and shopping for rare culinary must-haves. Guests can participate in Wine Bar tastings and are allowed to sip wine from the Wine Bar anywhere on the Copia property, including outside. The broader CIA at Copia setting also hosts weddings, private events, conferences and retreats, and online master’s programs, and features thought leadership conferences that attract leading chefs, foodservice operators, researchers, and food experts.
CIA at Copia has been described as a “foodie wonderland” by The New York Times. Haute Living notes that “CIA at Copia is the center of the food world—on any given day you don’t know which famed chefs will be stopping by.” Visit Napa Valley named it one of “10 Napa Valley food experiences not to miss,” highlighting the option to sign up for a cooking class, get a cocktail at the outdoor bar The Grove, and walk through the gardens.
