Taste Of Petaluma

I love going to this event. I will agree with a few other reviews and say that this is by far one of the best ‘taste” events I have been to. Feast Portland you get my number one spot! Which if you haven’t been to that event, you should check it out.
So anyway, back to my review of this wonderful event. It is a great way to see many of the local restaurants, businesses and try locally produced wine all in one day. When we first checked in I thought wow only ten tastes? But I couldn’t even get to all of the food I wanted to try! But I am not complaining so please don’t reduce the numbers of taste tickets!
I love, love, love supporting local whenever I can. so this is a great way to visit a few of them in downtown Petaluma and see what it is all about.
This would be a great event for out of towner’s because you get to cover a lot of the downtown area in one fell swoop.

The Taste of Petaluma is a great way to experience the finest downtown restaurants without limiting yourself to one table. The food is delicious and leaves you impressed and satisfied. The key is to pace yourself and plan out your route so that you see as much of downtown as possible. Not only is this a taste of some of the best food around, but you also get a flavor of Petaluma’s charming downtown.

We were delighted to take part in this great food event in downtown Petaluma. As a vendor we met so many people that were enjoying themselves. Everyone had a smile on their face and who wouldn’t if you had 50+ food establishments to choose from. We also got to taste some great food offered by some of the downtown food establishments.
I see the taste of Petaluma event continuing for many more years because it’s such a value at $ 40 and put together in an organized fashion. I would like to thank the organizers of the event and also to One Planet Handcrafted Fair Trade. This wonderful little shop filled with so many interesting crafts was most hospitable and a gracious host!
Till next year!

Taste of Petaluma is an incredible event — great food, great people all together in a great town! The variety of food and drink for everyone to enjoy is awesome! You can try everything from sushi to breakfast foods to weird and interesting creations, and of course there is the beer! Petaluma has so many amazing breweries. The best part is that for $ 40 you get ten tastings — and some of those tastings include a refreshing beer or drink. Only $ 4 more for any additional tastings. You can really make a full day with breakfast and lunch out of it.
My business actually participated in the event and was hosted by the most wonderful people at Sole Desire. The organizers of the event were so helpful in getting us set up and matched with a host.

This is one of the most fun filled events in town. I have volunteered every year and enjoyed the event myself and nothing beats this for introducing you to the different tastes, restaurants and shops that Petaluma has to offer. This year Petaluma Pie Co. outdid themselves with individual Jamaican Pies. This was pared with a glass of beer, or porter from Petaluma Brewing Co. All this for only one ticket was unbelievable.

The food was fantastic. I wish I could have tried all of it but I was to full. The wine servings were generous. Can’t wait until next year!

I’ve both worked and attended this event and, without a doubt, this year was the best yet! So many choices, fantastic food, good-​sized portions. .. I could go on and on! People were friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. And it benefit a great cause, Cinnabar Theater. I can’t wait for next year.

I volunteered the first part of this event which I have done for the past 5 years and this by far was the BEST! The food, spirits and people were amazing.
I was stationed at the Opera House a new wonderful store on Kentucky St (145 Kentucky) and everyone who came in were blown away by the items they had for you to browse but we also had The Apple Garden Farm Cider, Sonoma Coast Spirits and Sprouts with their daily made BBQ sausages! This drew so many people we were almost overwhelmed.
When I was finished with my shift I then had the luxury of tasting so many other wonderful items from so many places (too many to mention). This has to be one of our favorite events in Petaluma!
Don’t miss it next year as I am sure it will only get better!
Thank you Petaluma!

A great way to try 10 restaurants in one day… plus hear lots of music and dancing.
It’s a really social event, as you see others with the bright yellow bags and you know you can start a conversation with «What did you have that’s great?» Everyone’s a food reviewer, so you get lots of hot tips and buzz on the street.
Fun to go into the restaurants, stores and galleries and see what they have going on. Eat a little, walk a little, browse and stroll thru this charming, historic town of Petaluma. The new NorCal food Mecca…

The only thing that would make the Aug. 24, 2013 Taste of Petaluma. better would be if it happened twice each year!
Enjoy Petaluma restaurants presenting their very best dishes.
Enjoy the opportunity to see galleries and shops presenting the best dishes from out-​of town restaurants.
See lots of smiling faces.
We never miss Taste of Petaluma — it is on our calendar for every year!

BEST «Taste» EVER ANYWHERE…
Don’t miss it!
Most «Tastes» in communities invite the restaurants and chefs to a central location where the food gets old and spoiled… and the chefs aren’t in their kitchens. this Taste is so much smarter — you stroll around awesome Petaluma going from restaurant to restaurant with great street scenes and music along the way, and of course, fresh, gourmet incredible food and wine and beer!
My family and I drive hundreds of miles from our home whenever we can just for this event!

The Taste of Petaluma is a fantastic way to experience the town and what it has to offer. Even though we’ve lived here 17 years, we discover something new and delicious every year. If you don’t live here, I can’t think of a better way to be introduced to downtown Petaluma and some of the awesome food and beverages available. And it’s all to support the local Cinnabar Theater!

This annual day of food and beverages is unique and wonderful. You can taste bits and bites from dozens of restaurants, some at their sites, some presented at local merchants; also wine, beer, ice cream and much much more! Purchase a tasting ticket and enjoy the bounty. Live music, dance and other performance art pops up here and there. Maps available at check-​in. And it all benefits one of Petaluma’s jewels — Cinnabar Theater. I love this event!

My favorite event in Petaluma! This is a day you need to stretch and prepare for because it is nothing but delicious food and getting to find new favorites all over Petaluma. You get so much bang for your buck here and the local businesses really go all out to show you their best. You also get to check out local artists and musicians in the area to give you the complete event. So delicious, such a fun day, just make sure to come with an empty belly!

Petaluma’s best event! It’s a great afternoon of exploring new restaurants, stores and gallenes while tasting wonderful food, wines and local brews. Lots of entertainment throughout the downtown as well. So much fun to check in and plan your day with the map, menu and tote bag you get. Super fun for a group of friends. A great time in Petaluma and not to be missed.

Taste is a wonderful opportunity to wander the historic streets of Petaluma and try delicious food, wine, beer and desserts for an affordable price. The event is popular every year and continues to grow. With over 50 musicians and performers contributing their time to support Cinnabar, Taste of Petaluma is a special treat for all!
Yummmmy!

This is the culinary walking tour of downtown shops that happens at the end of August.
Don’t have enough time and money to try 10 new restaurants for a full meal? …then head downtown for Taste of Petaluma. You get 10 tasting tickets to try your choice of about 40 local restaurants (some are located downtown, others are from further out but are hosted in a downtown gallery or shop.) We are still frequenting restaurants that we discovered during at the Taste of Petaluma during our first summer back in the area.
