Benicia Vintage Home & Garden Tour

Pride of Place
Vintage Home & Garden Tour

Five of Benicia’s best homes – including the Fish-Riddell
mansion shown above -- will open their doors to the public for
Benicia Historical Society’s annual home and garden tour. 

The homes offer an architectural timeline of Benicia's history, featuring homes built from the 1850s to the 1940s. Vintage cars will be displayed at many homes, and plein air artists will be painting at some locations as well. 

Gardens at several homes will be open to visit, as will a fountain-filled garden in downtown Benicia. A refreshment stop also is included in the tour.

Homes can be visited in any order, and the entire tour loop covers 1.7 miles so it can be easily walked.
 

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the tour. Tickets are available online at www.beniciahistoricalsociety.org.
Tickets also may be purchased at Benicia Main Street, Bookshop Benicia and Camellia Tea Room in downtown Benicia plus Steve's Hallmark at the Southampton shopping center. 

Tour participants can round out their day at Benicia's monthly Art Walk, scheduled that same day from 3 to 7 p.m. along First Street.
