The Napa Valley Cooking School is a small, specialized higher-education program offering intensive, hands-on culinary and pastry training for aspiring chefs. Its curriculum centers on technique-driven skills intended for careers in fine dining, delivered in a disciplined learning environment with a relatively low student-to-instructor ratio and opportunities for externships around the world. The program also emphasizes sustainability as a core focus. Based in Saint Helena in the Napa Valley region, the school leverages its setting in a well-known tourist destination to connect students with notable regional chefs, winemakers, and artisan producers through community involvement. A notable development in its recent history was the appointment of Elena Sirignano as executive chef in 2018.
