Chowder Day

Join us for a fun day in the Bodega Bay area, sampling chowder at numerous restaurants! It is not a walking event, driving is necessary. Tasting begins at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. There are two check-in locations where you will receive your map, a commemorative spoon, and a wristband to verify your eligibility to taste at each location.

Check-in locations will be at the Rocker Oysterfeller's Restaurant and the Sonoma Coast Visitor Center. You may start any time after 10:00 a.m., and be sure to allow ample time to visit all of the locations by 3:00 p.m. You may taste chowder at each of the participating restaurants in any order you like. You may also skip the line and check in early! You may check in on Jan. 23 & Jan. 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sonoma Coast Visitor Center. 

There will be prizes! For our Instagram challenge, post a picture by 3 p.m. using the hashtag: #BBChowderDay2025, and make sure your favorite restaurant theme is clearly shown in the background. For our stamped map challenge, you must return your map with all locations stamped to the Sonoma Coast Visitor Center by 4 p.m. or at your last tasting location; you will automatically be entered into a drawing. For completing both of these challenges, you will automatically be entered into a drawing for a prize, & the winner will be notified at 5 p.m. Saturday by email and/or phone.
