Food, Fun and
Hard Cider
Escape the city for a tasty culinary adventure.
The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is the world’s premier culinary institute in Hyde Park, NY. Enjoy a day out of the city with other members of the group as they dine at American Bounty Restaurant for lunch, walk off the calories during a tour of the famous Vanderbilt Mansion overlooking the Hudson River and enjoy a hard cider tasting at a local cidery.
How it works:
Take the 9:45 am Metro-North train from Grand Central or points north to Poughkeepsie, NY (65 miles north of NYC). You may also drive to meet the group at the train station.
Your guide picks you up and brings you to the CIA campus overlooking the Hudson River.
Enjoy lunch and a limited tour of the campus.
Following lunch we will bring you to The Vanderbilt Mansion.
Next we visit Bad Seed Cidery for samples of their Cider.
Guest return on the 5:50 pm train at the latest.
Cost: $165 General admission ($155 lifetime VIP members) includes three course lunch, one soft drink or cocktail, the Vanderbilt Mansion tour, wine tasting, transportation to-and-from the train station to all activities. (Space is limited to eight people)
Not Included: Train fare, items purchased outside of our package. Since not everyone drinks alcohol the tasting at the cider is pay as you go.
