A curated supper series welcoming guest chefs into the Preserve kitchen.
Sundays are meant for slowing down—for gathering around the table, sharing great food, and celebrating community.
Join us for Sunday Supper at Preserve, a seasonal dinner series that brings together local chefs, breweries, farmers, and makers from across Yolo County for one unforgettable evening.
Our next Sunday Supper features guest chef Juan Barajas of Savory Café in Woodland, serving a traditional Louisiana-style Crawfish Boil with dirty rice. Enjoy local craft beer from Hooby's Brewing in Winters and Blue Note Brewing Company in Woodland, along with cocktails from Preserve's full bar.
More than just dinner, Sunday Supper is a celebration of the people and partnerships that make our region special. Come connect with neighbors, discover local businesses, and enjoy an evening built around good food and good company.
