Taste by the Bay

📣 A Bittersweet Goodbye 🍷🎶

After 11 incredible years of community, music, and coastal charm, Lancaster by the Bay Chamber is officially retiring Taste By The Bay.

From its humble beginnings to becoming one of the region’s most beloved sell-out events, Taste By The Bay brought together wineries, breweries, restaurants, artisans, and friends at the iconic Tides Inn. Last year’s tickets sold out in just 13 minutes!
With exciting renovations underway at the Tides Inn, we’ve made the heartfelt decision to retire the event—choosing to honor its legacy rather than reimagine it elsewhere.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who made Taste so special, especially Joanna Marchetti, whose vision led 11 years of unforgettable food and beverage experiences.
But this isn’t goodbye—it’s just the beginning of something new. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement that will carry the spirit of Taste into a bold new chapter. 💫
