doctall41: You didn't mention how long you'll be visiting, but if you plan to see 26 wineries I'm guesing it's more than a day or two. My favorite place for Sunday brunch is The Duck Club at the Lafayette Park Hotel. It's not in the immediate area--on a Sunday about a 30 minute drive north on 680 then a couple of exits off the 24. Definitely worth the drive! Your order a main course from the menu, but there's a buffet of all the outstanding accompaniments. My favorite brunch place. The Pleasanton Hotel is good for lunch or dinner (or a more standard Sunday brunch). Sadly, there aren't a lot of unique restaurants in our area--mostly chains--probably because it's a very family-oriented population. If you like Mexican food, try Casa Orozca which is straight down San Ramon Road in Dublin on the corner of Amador Valley (about half a mile from the Crowne Plaza). Again, it's not fancy but good food (and you'll definitely have to wait during prime times). If you're walking around Main Street in Pleasanton and are looking for a good breakfast or lunch place, try Rising Loafer--delicious homemade bread and food. There's also a farmers market every Saturday on Main Street in Pleasanton until 1:00 p.m.
