Amy & Team at CIA were awesome

We held our ceremony and reception at the CIA Greystone in Napa Valley and the entire team at the CIA were absolutely wonderful. They were prompt to respond, thorough and thoughtful! The herb terrace and barrel room were perfect, and the catering was amazing. Everyone raved about the food. The service was outstanding.

Wonderful Wedding at the CIA Greystone in Napa!

We enjoyed a fabulous destination wedding at the CIA Greystone in Napa, in May, 2025. We are from the Hudson Valley in New York, where the CIA mother campus is located, and we regularly enjoy dinners prepared by the students/staff in Hyde Park. It was even better in CA! The advance coordination was thoughtful, sensitive and spot-on, the day-of execution was seamless, and the food was beyond beautiful, tasty and exquisitely creative. We only wish we could do it all over again! We highly recommend the CIA Greystone for anyone looking for a memorable and incomparable wedding/event, at a one-in-a-million venue.

A Dream Wedding at The CIA Greystone – Flawless Venue & Exceptional Team

Our wedding day at The CIA at Greystone was truly magical. All of our guests raved about how stunning the venue was—especially in the spring, when the vineyards were in full bloom and the whole property felt like a romantic escape in wine country.

The food was absolutely top-notch—no surprise, given the Culinary Institute’s reputation. We had an amazing private tasting where they curated a fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table menu using locally sourced ingredients. Every dish was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and delicious. We felt genuinely special from start to finish.

The service team was just as outstanding—attentive, warm, and seamless in every detail. Amy was incredible to work with, going above and beyond throughout the entire process and even helping with day-of coordination. Adrian, her assistant, was also a tremendous support—super responsive and always on top of things. I must have sent over a hundred emails, and they handled every one with such grace and professionalism.

Yes, it’s a premium venue—but the experience, service, and quality fully reflect the price. It was worth every single penny, and I would choose it again a thousand times over. If you’re looking for a breathtaking venue with world-class food, exceptional service, and a team that truly cares, The CIA at Greystone is beyond compare.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
