The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone is an incredible place of learning, growing and amazingly delicious food creations. We’re grateful to support such a fantastic organization that shares our values, and we’re happy we’ve been able to contribute over the last 10 years to student scholarships at their Ghirardelli Chocolate Discovery Center, and now, most recently, the Bakery Café by Ghirardelli! If you’re in St. Helena, CA, or enjoying any part of Napa Valley, we hope you’ll stop by for some remarkable baked treats!
We are proud to have dedicated the Bakery Café by Ghirardelli at the CIA at Greystone. Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is a long-time supporter of the CIA and we are truly grateful for their investment in the future leaders of the food and beverage industry. The Cafe will open July 5.

On International Women’s Day, all of us at Ghirardelli were excited to join our WIN (Women Inclusive Network) Employee Resource Group to welcome best-selling author, illustrator, and expert on emotions at work, Liz Fosslien, to talk about how to build inclusive teams and a culture of belonging. We invited our friends at other Lindt subsidiaries to join, and had a truly International Women’s Day celebration with 111 colleagues joining from Switzerland, Canada, Poland and all over the US! We’d like to thank Liz Fosslien for her incredible insights and for inspiring us all to take steps in our own lives to build belonging and foster an inclusive and equitable workplace – for women and for everyone. Thank you to everyone from our Ghirardelli WIN ERG for setting up this great event! Ghirardelli Makes Life #abitebetter #LifeatGhirardelli #GrowTogether #IWD
