Things To Do
San Francisco
If you're flying in or out of SFO, we recommend staying a day or two to take advantage of the rich cultural history, iconic views, amazing cuisine, and sheer awesomness that is San Francisco!

Napa Valley
Located just an hour north of Benicia, Napa Valley is a must-visit for foodies and winos alike. If you have an extra day or two, we definitely recommend going on a wine tour and tasting some of the best wine the United States has to offer. Some of our favorites: V. Sattui Winery (http://www.vsattui.com/) Rutherford Grill (http://rutherfordgrill.com/) Artesa Winery (http://www.artesawinery.com/)
Downtown Benicia
The city of Benicia is pretty tiny, but that's part of its charm! Fun Fact: you can see the Bay right from our ceremony site, but to really maximize the ocean view, we recommend taking a relaxing stroll down First Street to the waterfront! While you're here, check out the randomly awesome selection of antique stores (we kid you not - there are seven in the downtown area alone!) and have some yummy seafood with a view at Sailor Jack's. Some of our favorite spots: Sailor Jack's (http://www.sailor-jacks.com/) Benicia Antique Mall (http://www.beniciaantiquemall.com/)
