Treat Mom to an Epic Mother’s Day Brunch!
Mother’s Day is coming up, and this is always one of my favorite brunch spots in the Tri-Valley.
Pasta’s Trattoria is hosting their Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet on Sunday, May 10, and if you’ve never been, they really do such a great job. I’ve been a few times and the food is always delicious, the brunch cocktails are on point, and the whole vibe feels special without being over the top.
Think made-to-order omelets, eggs benedict, fresh pastries, seafood, steak, pasta, and more.
Reservations are required, so I would definitely book early.
Call 925-417-2222 or reserve through OpenTable
Downtown Pleasanton’s Wine Stroll is BACK with Wine, Food, & Fun!
If you’ve never been to the Downtown Pleasanton Wine Stroll, you absolutely need to!
You’ll stroll through downtown on a beautiful evening, sip wine from 15+ wineries, and enjoy small bites from local restaurants along the way.
It’s one of my favorite events in downtown Pleasanton and such a great excuse for a night out.
The event takes place on Saturday, May 2 from 5–8pm.

Gardens That Inspire - The 24th Annual Garden Tour!
Put this on your calendar! The 24th Annual Garden Tour features a self-guided stroll through five private gardens in Alamo and Danville, and it’s always a fun one to do with friends or family. There will also be raffle baskets and a quilt raffle, with proceeds supporting local scholarships and STEM camp programs for girls.
Each ticket is good for one person to attend on either or both days of the event, and a tour guide with the map and garden descriptions will be emailed on May 1.
Tickets are $45 per person through April 23 and $50 starting April 24.
A few things to know before you go: no pets, no children under 12, and uneven garden paths mean strollers and wheelchairs cannot be accommodated.
Dinner Club is Coming to Downtown Danville on May 14th!
I’m so excited to share that the next Tri-Valley Explorer Dinner Club is happening in downtown Danville on Thursday, May 14.
So far, more than 100 people have joined us for Dinner Club, and the experience has earned a 4.9 out of 5-star rating.
Dinner Club matches guests into small dinner groups based on shared interests and dining style. Next month’s Dinner Club will send each group to a downtown Danville restaurant for a memorable evening.
Here’s how it works:
-Take a quick personality quiz
-Get matched with 5 other locals
-Receive your restaurant assignment the morning of the event
-Head to dinner at a tasty downtown Danville restaurant
-Join the optional after-dinner meet-up for a nightcap
Whether you’re new to the area, hoping to make new connections, or just in the mood for something a little different, Dinner Club is such a fun way to try a great local spot and meet new people.
Here’s what people have said about Tri-Valley Explorer Dinner Club:
"What a wonderful evening! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone at dinner and at the after party. Event was so well organized and restaurant pick was spot on. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you Rebecca!"
"The people we met at dinner were so amazing and we had so much in common! The very best first experience, can’t wait to do another dinner with Tri-Valley Explorer."
"Another wonderful evening. This was my 2nd Dinner Club adventure and it was even better than the first. I re-connected with people I had met the first time and met even more people this time around. Restaurant selection was another winner as was the after party venue. The coordination for all was seamless. Rebecca - you are the master event planner!"
