Piers and docks standing above the ocean swell make for fabulous dinner venues. On past tours, we’ve set the table on the Malibu Pier, the San Diego Tuna Harbor Dock, and the Stock Island Shrimp Boat Pier in the Florida Keys. This year, we’re adding two new ones in Capitola and Santa Barbara.
The historic Capitola Wharf broke in half in the huge waves of winter 2023. The pier is now reopened, repaired, and revived with a new deck and pilings. We will celebrate the transformation with a long table feast featuring the farmers of Santa Cruz County, the fisherfolk of Monterey Bay, and staff from the Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust. This unique nonprofit started a Community Seafood Program, and works to ensure sustainable fisheries, resilient waterfront communities and a healthy ocean ecosystem in this region.
This is founder Jim Denevan’s hometown; the family house is on Pleasure Point, about a mile west, and brother Bill's organic orchard is just five miles away. Jim will head up the kitchen. Deep local connections bring a plethora of choice ingredients.
This event is in collaboration with the Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust and the Capitola Village and Wharf Business Improvement Area.
