    I expected the tasting to be an in person affair. I work in college admissions and may be more tuned into these issues than most, but it was odd to essentially watch three videos (which were played very loudly) rather than have a guide. The tasting info itself was very interesting and the small tour we received was nice, but be advised you don’t see the full campus. “A taste” is more like it. Very sweet students and excited to go back! If you’re interested in the restaurants, be sure to book those in advance.

    They sat us down to watch a video with a chef talking to us which felt more like an activity you would do at home during Covid then what is supposed to be an interactive experience at a world renowned institute. And the “tasting” seems like you’d be trying things made there but it’s grapes with different things on it. Not a terrible experience but not worth paying for in my opinion. Book the restaurants and walk around yourself.

    Tour was great. Grounds are stunning. American Bounty restaurant is a lovely setting, not too loud, very attractive. Service was weak and food was so-so except but we understnd that these are chefs in trining. All in all, a great experience.

    The star ratings are just because open table requires them. The interactive portion of the program was very well done. The walking tour on a Saturday was limited due to events on campus. I would have like to see more of the instruction spaces.

    The tour was a great insight into the school. Going back for dinner tonight. If I was going to be a chef I would truly consider this school+ the views are exceptional.

    the taste experience was interesting but the tour was a short walk around the first floor of the building to look at the display cases.

    Hello, Mike. Thank you for attending the CIA Experience Tour with us, and taking the time to share your review. We take all comments and feedback very seriously and address them internally. On Saturday we do not have any classes in session and therefore, it is unfortunate that the students are not seen at their work stations. We sincerely apologize that your experience was not at the level of excellence we strive for. If you would like to discuss further, please reach out to us at (845) 451-1553.

    I enjoyed the tour but I wish I had been asked about allergies beforehand. A large section of the tour was learn to taste using grapes, to which I am severely allergic and will itch severely in an hour if I eat. I could have used a peach slice or a strawberry. I was sad to miss that experience.
