Greystone Learning Lab: Bees, Grains, & Gardens 

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 9 AM – 3 PM

Spend an inspiring day at the Culinary Institute of America’s historic Greystone campus exploring the living systems that shape flavor, nutrition, and sustainability. From the working hive to the freshly baked loaf and the vibrant culinary gardens, you will explore, taste, and engage with expert practitioners who seamlessly connect agriculture to culinary craft. This immersive experience includes tactile demonstrations, guided tastings, and a seasonal meal (complete with a garden-inspired cocktail or mocktail) that brings the day’s lessons directly to the plate.
