What to do and see in Benicia, California (CA): The Best Things to do

The Loft Wine Bar & Restaurant - Cocktails - Restaurant - Wine Shop. We are a Full Service Restaurant and Full Bar featuring local Napa & Sonoma wines not widely available. All wines are also available for retail purchase. Families welcome, and well-behaved pets are welcome on our sidewalk patio. The Loft Wine Bar & Restaurant first opened in 2012 offering boutique wines from around the world, with a focus on local wines from Napa and Sonoma. Seeing a need for more fresh food in Benicia, owner Jason Diavatis (Benicia native), added a full service kitchen, experienced Chef, and now offers a full food menu in addition to great beer and wine. Not to mention our hidden "Speakeasy" prohibition bar - The Office Speakeasy and Piano Lounge.

Park houses the Fischer-Hanlon house and the one time California State Capitol building.

The Benicia Historical Museum at the Camel Barns is located in the heart of the historic Benicia Arsenal (The Arsenal land was turned over to the City of Benicia in 1964 from the US Army.) The Museum highlights local history from the Patwin Tribes to modern times with our Sustainability and Granizo Art Tiles exhibits. At the Museum you will learn how this little city reflects the larger changes of the state of California and how Benicia influenced several of these changes. "The history California is written in the story of Benicia."

Sepay Groves Olive Oil is the oldest olive oil store in Solano County. For over 14 years we have brought our clients the freshest and healthiest oils and vinegars. We specialize in high polyphenol olive oils. These are the types of olive oils not found in grocery stores. They are also the types that must be sold directly from the grower to the public to keep the oil at a reasonable price. We hand bottle all oils and vinegars on-site in small batches to maintain their integrity. Most products are bottled within a few days of purchase.
