Chuck Williams Flavor Discovery Center
Culinary Institute of America at Greystone
St. Helena, California

Located on the Culinary Institute of America’s (CIA’s) Greystone campus in the heart of the Napa Valley, the late nineteenth century Gatehouse is undergoing preservation and restoration as a functioning research center, The Chuck Williams Flavor Discovery Center. The center’s focus will be to educate visitors about the flavors of food and beverage and also to serve as a laboratory for food professionals.

ARG designed the food research facility, which includes a 32-seat dining room and a state-of-the-art professional kitchen. ARG’s adaptive reuse of the historic building preserves the dining room’s original stonewalls, while incorporating modern equipment. ARG’s scope of work also includes a seismic retrofit, new mechanical systems, and interior design.
