PCI is the award winning Professional Culinary Institute of California, a stunning, state-of-the-art California Culinary School, which opened to great acclaim in 2005.

Staffed by world-renowned chefs, dedicated to providing students with the fastest way to a world-class culinary education, PCI serves as the campus for the Certified Sommelier Wine Education School as well. This cohabitation allows students at the Certified Sommelier School at PCI to enjoy all the benefits of PCI and its facilities.

In fact, PCI's chefs regularly create special dishes for our wine education courses, so you can learn firsthand about wine's intricate interaction with food. Wine classes are held in our brand new wine cellar classroom, designed for the optimum sensory evaluation of wine.

Because our wine school is located in California's Santa Cruz Mountain wine-growing region, you'll also partake in a fieldtrips to a local California winery.

It's all part of our dedication to providing the most advanced, well-rounded education possible - which in turn will provide you with a significant edge in the marketplace.
