The Culinary Institute of America is regularly ranked among the top culinary schools in the world.
Instruction on its Hyde Park campus is sought by the most talented chefs hoping to follow in the footsteps of icons like Anthony Bourdain and Charlie Palmer, as well as countless others who went on to run their own kitchens and eateries.
But the stately campus is also one of Dutchess County’s most popular tourist destinations. Many are attracted by the school’s student-staffed eateries and award-winning brewery. Others come for individual cooking classes offered to the public.
And soon, the school may offer visitors the opportunity for extended access to the culinary experience.
