Overview

Woodbridge Crossing brings history and hospitality together in the heart of Lodi Wine Country. The restaurant occupies the historic 1865 Bentley’s General Merchandise Store and Wells Fargo Stage Stop, allowing each meal to take place within a story extending across generations. Original beams and storied brickwork create a landmark setting for dining grounded in tradition.

The building once served travelers on the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company route. Over time, it operated as a general store, saloon, and Wells Fargo stage stop; local rumor even identifies an old jail cell in the basement. Woodbridge Crossing carries that character and sense of community into the present day.
