Took a 2 hour drive north today up to St. Helena, California. Right in the heart of the Napa Valley to the Culinary Institute of America. A renowned cooking school. What a treat this was.
The buildings are impressive and are all made of stone. To the front of this area was a large herb garden. So you know that when you are learning or eating there, it is all fresh.
I had just missed a cooking demonstration but did pick up some literature on upcoming cooking classes that will be taking place in March. Um, may have to make the trip back up!
In addition to the herb garden, I spotted several lemon and orange trees. Can't get any fresher or local than that!
This building houses a wine school. I peeked in the windows and there was a very impressive set up for students with wine glasses and little sinks at each station. Wish I was a student there!
