Foodies have the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), in Hyde Park, and get an inside look into their amazing world of food through the CIA Experience—Taste, Learn, Tour, which is offered on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. and lasts for approximately one hour. 

This experience includes an interactive demonstration where participants get to explore the science of taste; a tour of Roth Hall, the building where culinary magic happens, during which participants are transported to exceptional moments in food history; and a chance to connect with CIA students in an exclusive Q&A session.

With scenic views of the Hudson River, award-winning student-run restaurants and a campus rich in history (and food), the Culinary Institute is a foodie destination like no other in the Hudson Valley.
