Trip to Culinary Institute of America and Val-Kill - NEW

*This is a paid Adult School class. Click on the ticketing link to register.

Early registration available June 7! 

Go behind the scenes of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and get an inside look into their world of food with a student-led tour and Q&A session. Enjoy a delicious three-course meal at CIA's American Bounty Restaurant; they serve contemporary and traditional regional dishes with a focus on the seasons and products of the Hudson Valley. After the CIA, we'll be transported to Eleanor Roosevelt's stone cottage, Val-Kill—the only National Historic Site dedicated to a First Lady. There you'll be provided with information by a park ranger and be able to tour the cottage as well as the lovely gardens and grounds. We'll also stop in at the Visitor's Center, which features several exhibits on Eleanor Roosevelt and her life and influence. Price includes lunch. 

Special notice: Registration closes July 2nd. There will be a pre-selected menu for the group. Adult School staff will provide the menu ahead of time in order to deal with any dietary restrictions.
