Benecia is a cool spot that we are starting to explore more now that we live so close (15 minutes from our house). We recently discovered The Loft Wine Bar & Restaurant- a great place to sip wine and eat delicious food. This is going to become my go-to Friday night place. Swipe 👈 to see the food we enjoyed - including salmon and pork tenderloin. ———————————————- #benicia #visitbenicia #theloftwinebar #beniciaca #winebar #winebars #wineandfood #wineandfoodpairing #foodandwine #foodandwinepairing #fridaynightwine (at The Loft Wine Bar & Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSZHcCH10R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wg0zrkac6opw

Located a stone’s throw from San Francisco in the North Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, Benicia is one of the oldest cities on the West Coast. This is a great “strolling” town and is the perfect day trip away from the tourist grind of San Fran. How about a stroll along the waterfront to catch the sunset?
