Wine Immersion

If you want to advance your wine knowledge – and career – in the quickest and most efficient way possible, consider attending one of the Wine Immersion programs at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, located in the heart of the Napa Valley.

The Wine Immersion programs allow you to progress through a series of classes designed to cover a complete range of topics in a condensed period of time.

If certification as a wine professional is your objective, Wine Immersion I is a great way to prepare for the CIA's Certified Wine Professional (CWP) exam. Or, you can take a trip around the world of wines in Wine Immersion II and further increase your enological IQ and, in turn, your sales and profits.

"Although I had the culinary part of the restaurant business covered, I realized that wine knowledge was a missing piece in my career puzzle. To get an in-depth, professional understanding of wine in a relatively short amount of time, I decided to go with the best – the CIA’s Wine Immersion." - Vincent Clyne, Restaurateur, Westfield, NJ, Certified Wine Professional Level I
