WHY ARE THERE TWO DIFFERENT START TIMES?
In order to accommodate ALL Chowder Day visitors, we split our guests into two groups. We ask that you observe the start time on your ticket. TASTING ENDS AT 3:00 PM.
 

CAN WE WALK FROM RESTAURANT TO RESTAURANT?
That is not recommended. Not only would it take you a long time, it's just not that safe to walk on Hwy 1. Some stops will have multiple locations. It's best to drive around the area. We strongly suggest carpooling.
 

CAN I BRING MY PETS?
Sure! You will be making a tour of the Sonoma Coast and Bodega Bay in your car. So feel free to bring your pet. Most of the stops you'll make are outside. But keep in mind that some of the competitors set up at businesses that might not be pet friendly. PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PETS.
 

WILL THERE BE AN INFORMATION BOOTH LOCATION?
Yes, it will be at the Bodega Bay Visitor's Center, 913 Highway 1, Bodega Bay and will be clearly marked from the road. The Information Booth Staff will be able to answer any questions you may have.
 

WHAT IF I LOSE MY TICKET OR WERE UNABLE TO PRINT IT?
In this hopefully rare instance, come to the Information Booth at the Visitor Center and we will assist you.
 

WHERE DO I PARK?
Each business will have parking available. There is no central spot to park and walk to each restaurant.
 

BRING YOUR OWN SPOON
To cut down on waste, this year we ask that you please bring your own spoon. There will be a limited supply available from the competitors, so if you require a spoon, keep it for each tasting. We are also selling Chowder Day commemorative spoons at the Visitor Center (913 Highway 1).
 

CAN CHILDREN TASTE FOR FREE?
All participants will need to purchase a ticket for the 2 oz tasting.
 

DOES EACH PERSON NEED TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN TICKET OR CAN WE SHARE?
Each taster will need to have their own printed ticket and present to the restaurant.
 

VOTING INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE
