COPIA

COPIA is a culinary museum in Napa Valley where visitors explore cooking, food culture, and culinary arts. The facility includes dining spaces, teaching kitchens for demonstrations, exhibition galleries, and a garden with ingredients used in cooking.

The center was founded in 2001 by wine industry leaders as a gathering place for food, wine, and cultural experiences. In 2015 it became part of the Culinary Institute of America, shifting its focus to professional culinary education and demonstration.

The collection shows how Americans have cooked and eaten throughout history through vintage kitchen tools and tableware. Visitors can see the evolution of cooking practices and dining habits displayed in the exhibition spaces.

The location sits in downtown Napa with convenient parking nearby and straightforward access from main streets. Plan to spend several hours if you want to explore the exhibitions, watch cooking demonstrations, and visit the gardens.

The exterior walls display a bold art mural created entirely with spray paint cans in vivid colors and patterns. This large-scale street art brings an unexpected visual energy to the industrial architecture of the building.
