Single-Day Classes

Feed your passion for all things food and wine with a single-day, hands-on class taught by CIA chef-instructors. No matter your skill level or interests, there’s a class that’s perfect for you. Our campuses in New York, California, and Texas are located in the heart of vibrant culinary regions, offering unique, locally inspired, and unforgettable experiences. We offer a wide variety of courses in cooking, baking, and wine and beverage, each lasting three to five hours.

During your class, you’ll roll up your sleeves and jump right into learning techniques and recipes with a chef-instructor by your side. You’ll work with fellow classmates to prepare a menu, with small class sizes ensuring a more personal, hands-on experience. After cooking, you’ll sit down together to enjoy the dishes you’ve created, discuss the techniques used, and receive a full recipe packet to take home and continue perfecting each dish.
