CIA Campus Visit: What to Expect
We’re excited to welcome admissions visitors to the CIA California campus at Greystone!
We know you’ll fall in love with our beautiful campus.
- Most of our events include a walking tour of campus. These tours are conducted primarily indoors and will last approximately 60 minutes. We encourage you to extend your visit by making a reservation at our Gatehouse Restaurant or exploring CIA at Copia, in Napa, CA.
- Tour groups will be small—ensuring a personalized experience with one of our admissions counselors.
- If you are visiting for a Campus Tour, a member of the Admissions staff will meet you near the security desk in the atrium at 11 a.m. PT. Please enter Greystone and have a seat on the benches in the atrium, or explore the Corkscrew Museum, also located in the atrium, while you wait.
Our Gatehouse Restaurant will be available to you for lunch or dinner service. Hours may vary and seating is limited, so reservations are strongly encouraged. We also hope you’ll visit one of the many local CIA alumni restaurants. We’ve prepared this quick list for you of some of our favorites. Please check their websites for menus and dining options:
