No one can deny Sacramento does brunch right, and locals and visitors alike love kicking back with friends new and old, excellent food, bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys.

With Farm-to-Fork Sunday Brunch, indulge in a unique brunch setting that consists of a long table stretched down in the middle of K and 13th Street under a canopy of trees. Bottomless Bloody Marys from Preservation and Co. compete with bottomless mimosas featuring Bogle Vineyards’ sparkling wine for your attention while you savor food prepared by Dawson’s Steakhouse. And don’t worry — there’s plenty of time to try it all.
