We had an amazing time staying at the Cache Creek Casino Resort. Our drive from Sacramento to the…read morecasino was easy, no backed up traffic.The scenic valley and mountains in the background made the drive more pleasurable. Upon arrival, drivers are met with clearly marked signs directing drivers to valet parking OR, the spacious well lit self-parking structure. For those driving from long distances, there is a gas station/convenience store located near the entrance of self-parking. Access to the hotel front desk and casino from self-parking is extremely easy as depending where you park can be a short walk to the elevators. I think that there is a parking level that allows you to enter the hotel lobby without taking the elevator. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated. We were able to walk straight to the front desk and get checked in. Check-in was a breeze. The front desk staff, Jules, was fantastic. She was professional, welcoming and just a pure spark of joy the entire time. Being a stargazer, I asked about stargazing conditions (whether hotel lighting negatively impacted seeing the stars at night) and she patiently fielded my questions. Walking to our room through the casino was easy. On our way to the South Tower we passed restaurants, cafes and several well appointed areas to sit. The hotel design and decoration is absolutely stunning. Our room was also quite nice. We really enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend this casino/resort for those looking for gambling fun and relaxation. Kudos to hotel staff and management for a wonderful experience.

We were told by the front desk to use the QR code at each table to place food and drink orders. Carissa came out from behind the bar and said she was happy to help us. She brought us a physical menu with a huge smile and was a true delight. My favorite part of our morning was watching Carissa stop what she was doing to open the gate door for 2 women that were struggling up the stairs with walkers and bags. She kindly took the bags from both women, held the door open and sat them down with their friends/family. This reason alone is why I'm writing this review because she warmed my heart with absolute pure kindness. Second department that I enjoyed was the spa. I've been to the spa a few times now. It's always clean. The support team is kind and helpful. My facial today was with Maria, she was wonderful! I had an 80 min session. It felt like 8 minutes. I suppose that's a downside however, we chatted so much that the time flew by. Chatting in a great way :) We had a great time together and I loved my facial.

When I'm out n about driving thru the Capay Valley on Route 16, Seka Hills tasting room is always a…read moremust stop. I recall on my first visit (many years ago), they were selling olive oil and tastings only. Fast forward to present day, they have expanded to include wine tastings, and selling balsamic vinegars, wines, honey, beef jerky, and nuts. All local grown from Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation land. Very cool. They also sell kitchen and giftable items; and serve food made to order and also offering prepackaged to go. The staff are always so kind and helpful. The building and brewing facility is a beautiful architectural design. Even the outside landscaping and patio area are thoughtfully designed. The views are gorgeous overlooking the adjoining almond and olive orchards, and the Valley. The kind of scenery they put in sappy Hallmark movie backdrops. So darn lucky to live within driving distance. I have not tasted wine here before. But have tasted their olive oils and vinegars. Mmm. Actually we picked up some bottles since they had a sale and marked down some bottles from the prior year varieties. My favorite flavors of SH olive oil are Arbequina (classic EVOO) and Frantoio (this one has nutty, herby flavors with slight pepperiness). It's right off Route 16 and super close to the Cache Creek casino resort which is also a Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation venture. So if you happen to be at the casino, drive less than five minute to the tasting room. Plus if you need a rest stop for a restroom, Seka Hills tasting room has real nice ones.

The ambience was very peaceful and tranquil. You could browse and shop for many charcuterie accessories, dried fruits, nuts, olive oil, flavored basalmic vinegar, wine, etc. During our olive oil tasting session, we tried samples of... Taggiasca: This elegant oil has aromas of sweet almond followed by herbaceous notes of dried thyme and fresh herbs. Frantoio: The flavor of this oil is fragrant with almond and floral notes with grassy flavors. Some bitterness, this oil has a lasting pepperiness. Lovely as a dipping and finishing oil. Arbequina Olive Oil: The flavor is a fresh herbaceous aroma, this harmonious oil has pleasant pungency with a slight bitterness. Its balanced complexity results in a long, satisfying finish. Use in baking, marinades, sauteing, roasting, as a drizzling and dipping oil and any sauce calling for EVOO. Picual Olive: the flavor is Green tomato and olive aromas, this distinct and harmonious oil is followed by nuanced flavors of fresh herbs, green tea and black pepper. Use it to enhance salads, vegetables, fish and grilled chicken and meats and drizzle over grilled peaches and pineapple. Tribal Blend: the flavor is bright and herbaceous aroma with fresh green notes followed by nuanced layers of green almond, sweet almond, and ripe banana with a smooth, buttery mouthfeel.

On a whim, we decided to give it a try. The owners are nice, modest folks who know how to make good wines. There's no snobbery or airs, here...just a friendly atmosphere and and a limited selection of varietals. I will state that my taste in wines tend to run towards the dry with emphasis on fruit.rather than too much toasted oak. If your tastes are similar, I daresay that you might find a bottle or two here that you can enjoy. When we were there today, they had a fruity, dry viognier, a nice tempranillo,and a cabernet sauvignon blended with a little petit verdot that I liked. The cab did not have harsh tannins that overpower, but just enough to be present without interfering with the almost jammy fruit. They had a syrah, too, but were sold out of their sparkling wine. I ended up buying a mixed case to take advantage of their fall sale. (Lots of wineries do this in order to make space in their cellars for the new wines they'll have once the crush-harvest season is over.)

While we just stopped in for a bite to eat, I can see how this would be a wonderful location for private and public events.

As a master gardener who has heard many, many presentations and visited many venues over the years, I was impressed by Sherri and Richard's love for, and commitment to, this farm; by their captivating, informative, and interesting presentation; and by their hard work and high standards. So much has been achieved in a short time, and their hard work and integrity shows in every aspect of this property. Thank you for a wonderful morning, a fun and fascinating learning experience, and a lovely memory for our group. You are an inspiration and we wish you every success!

We the weather being so unpredictable we had to wait. I was fine with wait because i do value my life. I had the chance to cross off a major item from my bucket list. A hot air balloon ride and wow, what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Floating high above the landscape, seeing everything from a completely new perspective, was truly magical. The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!
