Wine Events at Greystone

Throughout the year, The Culinary Institute of America hosts a number of spectacular wine events at its Greystone campus in the heart of the Napa Valley. Proceeds from these events contribute to the CIA's scholarship fund for professional wine studies, as well as the development of food and wine programs on the Greystone campus. Both the Vintners Hall of Fame Gala Dinner and the Robert M. Parker, Jr. Annual Seminar and Tasting have become sought after tickets, so reserve spots early.

FINALLY, A HALL OF FAME - "The Napa Valley branch of The Culinary Institute of America is addressing a long and mysterious oversight, the lack of a California Wine Hall of Fame. It's creating just such a venue, to be the Vintners Hall of Fame on its Greystone campus at St. Helena." - Mike Dunne, Wine Editor, Sacramento Bee

Upcoming Events:

Robert M. Parker, Jr. 5th Annual Seminar & Tasting:
The 2005 Bordeuax Vintage
October 23, 2008
