Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies
Culinary Institute of America at Greystone
St. Helena, California

Located on the Culinary Institute of America’s (CIA’s) Greystone campus, the Still House is being rehabilitated into a wine education center, the Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies. Originally used as the distillery for the former Christian Brothers’ Winery, ARG designed the new facility, which includes a soaring two-story entrance lobby, two state-of-the-art wine tasting classrooms, as well as offices and a kitchen/pantry for food preparation. A new underground wine cellar will also be constructed adjacent to the existing building. The rehabilitation also includes seismic strengthening of the stone structure and sensitive integration of new systems into the building. Missing historic features, such as the east/west gables and the roof monitor, were reconstructed based on historic photographs and physical evidence. This rehabilitation follows the guidelines set forth in The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
