Bubbles + Beer + Yoga at Fort Brewery & Pizza
There are lots of beer yoga events at breweries around town, but this one includes not just one but two post-class beers in the $20 ticket price. Or choose two glasses of wine instead. The hour-long yoga session starts early at 9 am every Saturday. Bring your own mat.

Pop-Up Brunch at Rancho Loma Vineyards
He’s a man of many hats, that wine guru-turned chef Ryan Fussell, who’ll visit the South Main Street wine bar to prepare an elaborate menu of brunch dishes. Think duck and rabbit rillettes and pecan-smoked chicken pate on the Refined Grazer Charcuterie Board; and smoked short rib poutine with duxelle gravy. Dishes will be available a la carte. The menu will be served from 12-3 pm.
