The CIA at Copia, located adjacent to the Oxbow Public Market in downtown Napa, California, opened its doors in 2016.

The CIA at Copia and The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone make up the school's California branch.

The college offers additional hands-on classes in Copia's teaching kitchens, and has a 72-seat theater, the Napa Valley Vintners Theater,[4] which hosts daily food and wine classes and an ongoing series of demonstrations by instructors and visiting culinary, wine, and beverage experts.

Dishes are inspired by the Napa Valley harvest and CIA gardens, and paired with cocktails or wines.
