When I'm out n about driving thru the Capay Valley on Route 16, Seka Hills tasting room is always a must 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. read more

After doing some berry picking, we saw Seka Hills Tasting Room. A gorgeous estate with a spacious neatly-kept outdoor seating area to enjoy the grove of olive trees and surrounding area. 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. Support your local business. read more

Shout out to Rosita, she was wonderful and a 5 star from being knowledgeable, informative, and providing excellent customer service during our balsamic vinegar and olive oil tasting. Let's call her C who did our wine tasting and she can use some training. There were 4 of us and she was overwhelmed where she crossed off a wine on the wrong list. Then she was very confrontational, even rolled her eyes like we were lying when we pointed out her mistake. Why would we lie about a pour or go out of order??? Quite rude! Don't want her to be fired, but provided with customer service training. She also couldn't answer my questions about the wines. Would've been 1 star if not for Rosita. If she did the wine and olive oil tasting would've been 5 stars and give her kudos for saving ca the experience the for us. It's a very nice space with indoor and outdoor space. And, we bought a lot with Rosita. That's the benefit of great customer service. read more

Seka Hills!! What a unique place! I hadn't been in a few years, but was looking for something unique for my mother-in-law's birthday and remembered this place! It's a fantastic "stop" if you're headed to Winters for dinner at Buckhorn! Seka Hills is located in Capay Valley, deep in the rural part of Yolo County. It's in a town called Brooks and is next to Cache Creek (Native American casino). Getting there from Sacramento is definitely a journey!! But the drive is nice and relaxing once you pass Woodland. There are two ways to get there- you can either take I-5 to CA-16 W or you can take I-80 to 113 and "cookie cut" your way through. Either way it should take about an hour from Sac, depending on traffic. My wife, mother-in-law, and I opted for the I-5 route as that's more of a straight shot while avoiding people headed to the Bay Area. Seka Hills is BEAUTIFUL, both inside and out. Especially on an 80 degree day... it's heavenly and EXTREMELY relaxing. The property overlooks rolling hills and has a "still" to it that reminds me of rural Andalusia, Spain. Incredibly calming. Parking is abundant and there is an inside and outside area. The outside tables are reserved for wine tasting and charcuterie. But the inside area is gignatic and stunning! Seka Hills is famous for their olive oils and balsamic vinegars. But they also do wines, honey, almond butters, snacks, and more. They offer complimentary tastings of all their oils and vinegars, which we gladly partook in. Their olive oils include Arbequina (meant for baking, marinading, sautéing, roasting, and dipping), Picual (enhancing salads, vegetables, fish, chicken, and meats), Frantoio (dipping and finishing oil), Taggiasca (butter replacement), and their Tribal Blend (salad and cheese enricher). And they sell three balsamic vinegars: Elderberry, Fig, and Pomegranate. We loved EVERY single olive oil and vinegar, which made it extremely difficult to pick what to purchase. My wife and I ended up with their Arbequina olive oil and Pomegranate vinegar. Whereas my mother-in-law bought their Picual oil and Elderberry vinegar. She also purchased some of Seka's honey as the patron let her try some. Mind you while we were tasting we were sipping on some glasses of wine: their 2016 Tuluk'a Red Blend. Seka lets you walk around the facility with your glass, or you can sit inside/ outside. I really enjoy the wine tasting facilities that allow for such flexibility, as I'm the type who struggles to sit still for long periods of time (lol, where my fellow 90s babies at?) Seka Hills also sells nuts, sandwiches, souvenirs, cooking utensils, and much more. You can also view their oil mills in the back of the facility through giant plexiglass. If you're fascinated by how olive oil is made, you will be impressed! We spent about 45 minutes here because we had early dinner reservations, but easily could've spent longer while sitting outside and enjoying the views and "stillness." While my family loves going to Wine Country in Napa Valley, some times it's nice to mix things up and go somewhere a little more local. As I mentioned earlier, it is definitely a trek to get here. But if you're looking for a UNIQUE experience and want some world class olive oil, vinegar, and wine, this is the spot for you! Additionally, Seka Hills just opened up a tasting room in Midtown Sacramento in the "Ice Blocks." So if you wish to get oil/vinegar you can always pop in to that location as it's extremely nearby and centrally located. However, there's just something so relaxing and charming about their rural Yolo County spot. I hope I gave readers an idea of how to please their mother-in-laws (lol)! But all joking aside, I HIGHLY recommend Seka Hills. They have some of the best olive oil and vinegar in the game, and this location is specularly impressive and chill. A++++++ read more

Seka Hills is a peaceful hidden gem in Capay Valley, just across from Cache Creek Casino. The tasting room is beautifully designed with rustic-modern vibes, local goods, and views of the working olive mill. I did a tasting flight of four wines and especially loved the Tuluk'a red blend -- smooth and delicious. I also sampled the Sauvignon Blanc, which was crisp and perfect for a warm day and I brought a bottle home with me The food was a pleasant surprise -- I had the Capay Banh Mi Pastrami sandwich and seasonal pasta salad. Both were flavorful and satisfying. I lounged on the shaded patio while enjoying live music, which made the experience even more relaxing. I do wish there was more storytelling about the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, who own and operate the property -- that cultural connection would have added depth to the visit. Customer service was okay, but not particularly engaging. Overall, a beautiful spot to sip, unwind, and savor the day read more

Beautiful property, surrounded by an orchard of almond trees and olive trees. The Seka Hills tasting room is also absolutely gorgeous. They sell wine, olive oils, balsamic vinegar, almonds, and accessories (books, utensils, decorations, etc). Plus, there are outdoor tables where you can enjoy wines and light bites sandwiches, salads, snacks). On our visit, there were only 2 ladies at the counter who were ringing up orders as well as pouring wine for tastings. Unfortunately, this caused a bottleneck in getting orders out to those sitting outside (like us and the other tables near us) and they had a difficult time fulfilling the wine tastings (I had to ask for my 2nd pour and walked from outside to the counter inside for the 3rd and 4th pours). On the positive side, the ladies were hustling and another lady was providing olive oil/balsamic vinegar/honey tastings at a counter inside). I enjoyed the wine pours though plus the veggie sandwich and Italian sandwich were both tasty. I ended up buying 2 bottles of wine, 3 bottles of balsamic vinegar, and a bottle of olive oil. read more

Stopped here today during the Almond Blossom Festival and it was such a treat. Beautiful venue with really good sandwiches ( we loved the turkey one- yum), delicious olive oils and vinaigrettes- elderberry and pomegranate were amazing. They also have olive oil ice cream which is unique- not our personal favorite though. The folks here are very nice and provide attentive service, a little aggressive on the sales. I only say this because I was asking for a sample of the ice cream, as I saw a young lady give one to another customer and the lady at the register kept insinuating that I had to buy a pint or a giant scoop ( finally did get our sample). Anywho, we ended up with some Olive oil, pomegranate vinaigrette, and our sando. They also had live music, vendors and food trucks onsite. It was absolutely lovely (even with the unexpected rain)! read more

Lovely place to stop if you're in the Capay Valley for olive oil tasting, wine tasting or a nice lunch out. We ate lunch here and did also tasted delicious olive oils and balsamic vinegar. Pomegranate, fig and elderberry balsamic vinegars are all amazing! Artisan sandwiches are fabulous; made with Uber fresh ingredients and very delicious.

Great experience! I called a week in advance to book a party of 12 - 10 adults & 2 toddlers. They had the gazebo area for us. The Sandwhiches were delicious and huge! Super fulfilling. The ambiance was peaceful. I could hear the birds chirping. It was super relaxing and not busy at all, we were there on a Sunday. The customer service was the BEST! I loved that children and dogs were allowed. It's a great place for families. I would definitely come back. Also, the wine tasting was super affordable. $15 for 4 wines, or FREE with a wine bottle purchase. :) read more

I just don't understand how some of these places think their wines are good. The Seka hills wines are terrible. They do sell other things like olive oils, and vinegars - there is a good selection of each - however - their prices are way too expensive when compared to other places similar. The setting and location is good, you have beautiful views of the valley and hills to the west. read more

This is like a gem around this area. The place was very clean and privately feel, I like the white roses around covering the entire grounds. The wine are good. Ana the service was excellent. Melissa our main server was great... very pleasant and happy. read more

Visited the Séka Hills Tasting Room in Brooks and it was beautiful and scenic! We did the tasting of reds, which if memory serves correct, was $15 a person and is waved if you buy a bottle! The cold sandwiches were delish! The beef jerky was quality as well. The olive oil tasting is complimentary. I didn't have a chance to try the olive oil ice cream, but I'll definitely be back! And it's near the casino if you're into that vibe. read more

My friends & I have always wanted to stop by here & we were so happy that we did. There were a variety of items to purchase; different foods/drinks, kitchenwares, lotion/soap, & gift sets with olive oils & wine. Each of the employees were super nice & offered free wine or oil tastings. We ended up doing the oils tasting - 3 olive oils, 3 balsamic, 2 almond butters & their honey. It was a great experience & it had beautiful views of the hills & olive trees surrounding & the tasting room/shop area was grand. We'll be back another time to try some of their wines! I definitely recommend this place. read more

Since we were in the area thought we would stop by and check out their latest olive oil and wine. It was a nice afternoon so sat outside and enjoyed the wine and then tasted the oils. Ended up buying 3 bottles of their Olive Oil and some tasty cookies to end the day with. Love the couches and fire pit outside and plenty of room inside. Staff always greet you when you walk in and always ask their favorites since they try the products. read more

Wanted to explore what this place had to offer. As a first timer me and the bf went to take a trip here. As we drove up the this place I thought it had a beautiful feel to it. They also had I believed to be some olive trees and and old looking truck as we pulled in. We walked inside and started looking around a young lady approached us as she was very friendly her name was Louha. She was very knowledgeable and helped us with your wine tasting. They have many different wine clubs to choose from and a beef club as well. They also have a nice store inside with lots of goodies to buy. Oh and olive oil tasting and food you can purchase to eat as you do your day drinking as well. I will give this place 5 stars which I rarely give but the nice friendly lady had such great customer service. This is what you call 5 stars. She approached us in a timely manner and help us every step of the way. With making us wait to long. Thank you again you made our visit that much more special. read more

We had been to Seka Hills Midtown Sacramento location before, but never to their tasting room in Brooks. It's worth the drive from Sacramento: what a fun afternoon. The location is beautiful, with seating indoors and on the patio. You have an option to olive oil/vinegar taste (free) or wine taste ($15 per person). We decided on both. Their olive oils and vinegars are really fun to taste and it is a unique experience. The wine tasting includes a flight of four wines. If you end up buying a bottle, an individual's tasting is free. Employees are helpful, personable and incredibly pleasant. While very knowledgeable about the olive oils and vinegars, they didn't seem to have the exact level of knowledge on their wine blends. The tasting room also includes a wide variety of merchandise, making it a fun time to also just browse. And you can't beat a drive up to the Capay Valley on a sunny afternoon. Definitely a somewhat hidden gem. read more

This is the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it is fruity and peppery and is extremely high quality. I don't purchase any other. The downtown Sacramento location is a clean and classy place with good food and customer service. Love this spot. read more

While we thoroughly enjoyed the vinegar and olive oil tasting, we weren't really impressed with the wines. Seka Hills is a chic tasting room located in Yolo wine country just down the street from Cache Creek Casino Resort. Their tasting room is super stylish with modernly rustic décor. The interior space is very airy and spacious with a great view of their stainless-steel barrel room. Seka Hills also comes equipped with a deli and front patio seating. Melissa assisted us in the tasting room and she was absolutely fantastic! We started off with a vinegar and olive oil tasting. When I tell you that every single olive oil and vinegar tasted amazing! Melissa explained the flavors perfectly and offered some great ways to use and pair the oils and vinegars. We liked them so much that we all ended up purchasing some. I purchased the starter pack which offers a variety of 3 olive oils and 3 vinegars. The fig and pomegranate balsamic vinegars are my favorite! They make the perfect additives for homemade salad dressings and sauces. The olive oils are all super high quality. I would definitely come back for more olive oils and vinegars. I can't forget to mention their delicious hummus too! Melissa treated us to a special taste of their hummus and it was absolute exquisite. Their wines were a completely different story though. This was one of the rare occasions when none of us liked ANY of the wines (hence the 3-star rating). In fact, these were the worst wines that we tasted during our Yolo wine country wine tasting tour. Very unfortunate because everything else was wonderful. Since it was warm out, we decided to taste their rose and white wines. Everything we tasted was overly oaked. Even the viognier and rose tasted extremely oaky. It tasted like the wines had been opened for a few days and had been left sitting in the sun for too long. That pour bucket got some heavy use that day. Besides the terrible wines, we actually had a fun time here. I wouldn't be opposed to giving them another shot in terms of the wine, but I'd highly recommend stopping by to try their olive oils and vinegars if you're in the area. read more

We had never visited the Capay (pronounced kay-pay) Valley before driving in to attend a lavender festival. On the way out, we stopped in at Seka Hills to check out their olive oil and were really glad we did. The olive oil is high quality, grown and processed locally so that ensures the best flavor. They did not have an unreasonable amount of flavors but a good variety. Pricing is excellent. In addition, there are wines, local meat products and other assorted gourmet items. We did not taste the wines but will return to do so. Note: Seka Hills Olive Oil is also available at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg. read more

Would definitely recommend Séka Hills tasting room to try olive oil, honey, hummus and wine. The views are stunning and the Tasting Room is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a nice afternoon. If you will be coming around 4 or later, call ahead to place an order for a delicious sandwich or hummus trio sampler. In native Patwin language, "Séka" means blue. The name Séka Hills chosen for the line of premium tribal products honors the blue hills that overlook the beautiful grasslands, rolling hills and valleys in Capay Valley. For thousands of years, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation has lived in harmony with nature and tended this fertile valley. We were so lucky to not only to have an olive oil, honey and balsamic vinegar tasting with the Tasting Room Supervisor, Edie Hafdahl, but also learn about culture, history and tradition. Interesting to hear how production decisions are made through a lens of environmental stewardship to honor, protect and preserve the land while creating and cultivating award winning wines and olive oils. They are one of a few tribes that are expanding agriculture and ranching in California and own over 22,000 acres. Interesting to also hear about the weeklong trek to move their growing herd of 700 cattle through to their summer home in Oregon and then back to their Capay Valley home again along a long trail ride annually. Tasting Room Specialist Melissa was a great resource for not only their award winning wines, but gardening advice. Want to attract bees to your garden? Plant a bouquet of colors including lavender, hydrangeas, butterfly plants and sunflowers. The wine tasting which includes four wine was included in our YOLO Passport, but is normally available for $10. The olive oil tasting which I would highly recommend was complimentary. Don't miss the local wildflower honey. So delicious! Order a sandwich from the deli. The Nisqually Salmon with herbed cream cheese, organic cucumbers and tomatoes, lemon pesto aioli on fresh ciabatta was amazing! Limited to this summer. The hummus trio was a perfect sample of the original, jalapeño and cilantro hummus served with bread, crackers and cucumbers. Make sure to tip your server. Thanks again to Edie and Melissa at the Séka Hills Olive Mill & Tasting Room. It was very busy with about a dozen guests (nice to meet a few Sacramento Yelpers) there for the YOLO Passport experience on a late Saturday afternoon, but we felt like we had a VIP personalized experience. Thanks also to Sacramento CM Alex for extending this Yelp Passport to a couple of Texans. So happy our Tribal EVOO and Séka Hills Wildflower Honey made it back to our home safely. read more

Wine tasting, Balsamic Vinegars and EVOO's Séka Hills Olive Mill & Tasting Room is located in Brooks CA. Don't know where that is? Just think Cache Creek. If you go a little bit further down past the casino you will see the Séka Hills tasting room. Their vineyards are across the casino. We arrived here around 2:30p and completed our wine and EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) educational tasting inside the tasting room. We decided to stay indoors the rest of the tasting experience. At the end we decided to get their 2020 Rosé. The wine was rich with fruity taste. I liked the aromas of ripe cherry and blueberry. We also bought a pair of balsamic vinegar (Pomegranate) and Taggiasca EVOO. It had a gentle scent and a sweet almond-like taste. 10% was applied to our purchases. They have a deli in-house offering salads, sandwiches, charcuterie and snacks .Pick up a rewards stamp card and after 10 purchases of their signature deli items your next one is free. The tasting room was spacious inside with merchandise available for purchase. Items like shirts, mugs, coasters, honey, cookbooks, pantry items, and, of course, balsamic vinegars and olive oils. After our wine tasting we went across the parking lot to the olive trees orchard to take some photos. I've never seen olives bore from a tree. I've only seen them in glass jars in the grocery store LoL Review #2267 read more

As the "Passport to Yolo Wine Country" was nearing the end (over the weekend of June 26/27, 2021), I took full advantage of my day by venturing out to wineries that I have never been to nor heard of in my life. This was completely uncharted territory as I don't believe I have ever driven on the roads leading up to this place. This takes me to the small town of Brooks, CA in the Capay Valley of Yolo County where I had the honor of sampling wines at "Séka Hills Olive Mill & Tasting Room". After eating a light lunch in the small town of Esparto, Séka Hills was my first stop on my wine tour for the day. I arrived promptly at around 12:30pm on 6/26/2021. The easiest way to find this place is that if you know where "Cache Creek Indian Reservation" is, this place is literally right down the street from there. Parking was easy to find and the entrance was a breeze with the nicely paved parking lot. A fun fact that I did not know is that their tasting room is owned by the same people who own Cache Creek. The inside of this winery is very open, spacious, well-lit, and inviting. There are several display shelves showcasing their extra virgin olive oils & balsamic vinaigrettes, books & tutorials on the surrounding vineyards, t-shirts, coffee mugs, wine glasses, and cookbooks. Additionally, they also offer a small food menu that carries a few select salads & sandwiches as well as a cheese board that includes several amazing cheeses that pair up nicely with your wines, fruit, meats, and nuts. During my visit, I was greeted by Melissa who thoroughly explained the wines in full detail. As part of this Yelp Passport wine tasting package, every Yelper that was accepted into this month-long event received complimentary tastings of their award winning wines. I sampled 4 that was on their menu, this included the "2018 Viognier", "2017 Viognier", "2020 Rosé", and "2019 Sauvignon Blanc". All tasted absolutely amazing, refreshing, with the perfect amount of aromas and bitterness that was differentiated in each glass. After narrowing down which one tasted best, I ended up buying a bottle of the "2017 Viognier" which they quote as the perfect summer wine. The aromatic scent orange blossoms, vanilla, jasmine, and honey are a perfect and refreshing pairing with any chicken, poultry, or seafood dish. And of course, all by itself. Overall, "Séka Hills" lived up to its expectations as this was an amazing first stop on my Yolo County wine tour. My rating, a unanimous five stars. read more

This was my first time at the Capay Valley Tasting Room. I had previously visited the tasting room in Clarksburg. This spot is beautiful! I had joined the beef club and it was pick up day! We were greeted by the front door with complimentary stemless wine glasses for a free tasting and directed to where we pick up our beef! Because I was a new member, my order came in a cute burlap cold bag too! They had Chando's food truck out there and live music! Now I know that was for a special occasion, so I will tell you they have a beautiful shop with wine, olive oils, the best flavored balsamic vinegars ever, and seasonal goodies like honey and flavored simple syrups. They have more red wines than white but everything was really yummy. I took home the Vognier which was the only white they had left (good thing I like it!). My mom took home the Grenache which was lovely but they also had three more reds that were on the dry side.. It's a bit of a drive to get out there but we'll worth it and hey, you can stop at Cache Creek Casino on your way out! read more

Séka Hills Tasting Room - Private party tasting! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Brooks, California

Wine is delicious, space is open, patio is beautiful and they offer food options - sandwiches & salads! I was in last Sunday with my husband and some friends and Seka was our third stop of the day. We were in need a cooler setting after sitting outside and luckily Seka had space for us. Upon arrival, we weren't really greeted and the experience was much different from their Sacramento tasting room experience. The 5 of us did tastings and we weren't really sure on what we were tasting. There was a list on the counter of about 6-8 wines, but our tasting was of 4 wines so I'm not sure what we actual had. When they were poured for us the name was quickly said and we didn't really get a description to what it was, no problem. We did enjoy our time because of the AC and the calming environment. We had lunch right before coming in, but I wish I had room for their sandwiches! The menu looked delicious and if I ever find myself here again, I'll be sure to save room to taste their deli foods. The space is really comforting and clean. Their bathrooms were also super clean. I will say though, I do favor the Sacramento location more for the kind servers. read more

Located across the way from Cache Creek so I took a break from the pool to head over and check this place out. The grounds are pretty and the service was prompt and friendly. I had a caprese sandwich that was delicious... so much so that you could smell the basil before it even left the kitchen. Yum! Also the balsamic and focaccia were strong contributing factors. I didn't taste any of the olive oil (this time around) but did do the wine tasting, of which you receive 4 tastes for $10. I opted for "Pourer's Choice" since I like both red and white, and she did not disappoint. The Tuluk'a was a nice red, light and seemingly dark berry forward? (Not a sommelier... don't judge me) :-D The Tannat was my favorite though. Smooth finish and just an overall nice red to sit back with! I'd definitely be inclined to pop back in my next trip out. read more

We live in Carmichael and the drive out to Seka Wineries in Brooks was a little over an hour. Much of the drive is absolutely beautiful. Seka is romantic and beautiful surrounded by olive trees. The tasting room was crowded and had people standing in different lines. A little confused, we picked a line but not sure what we were standing in line for nor what each line lead to. We got to the front of the line and got our glasses. There were no indoor seats so we went outside to their dog friendly patio. There weren't a lot of shady spots and the weather was very hot, so I wished I had worn a cute hat that day to cut the sun in my eyes. There was a server giving tastings at a little kiosk on the patio, so we didn't have to go inside to the crowds. Aside from being hot, the patio was serene. We couldn't hear all the hustle and bustle of city life. It was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. We only tried their white wines since drinking reds didn't sound appealing in the heat. I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Not sweet, just smooth drinking wine. We will definitely be back. read more

I'd read an article about places to visit in Capay Valley, a tucked away area in Yolo County and best known for Cache Creek casino. I was visiting the are to check out the nearby lavender farm and had remembered Seka hills was nearby and recommended as a place to grab a sandwich for lunch. The grounds are beautiful-olive groves and a relaxing outdoor seating area with surrounding garden. There are options for olive oil tasting and wine testing but on my visit, my boyfriend and I were just grabbing some sandwiches. I got the Capay Valley veggie and he got the Italian bird. All around quality ingredients and flavorful sandwiches. We opted to sit outside in the shade and enjoy the surrounding views. Really lovely spot. Their retail store featured a variety of goodies from their olive oils to soaps and lotions to gourmet treats and more. It's a beautiful drive out this way so if you can plan a few stops in the area and do a little day trip, make Seka Hills one of them. read more

I absolutely love this place!! I came to the area because of the Almond Blossom Festival and it was a blast. The people were so nice and welcoming! We were able to try a variety of olive oils and learn exactly how they were made. We also got to try some balsamic vinegar which was really unique! The lady helping us was extremely kind and was patient with all of our questions. However the highlight of the event was trying out their olive oil ice cream! It was such a great experience!

Ah !!! Our last stop for today. I don't think. Can handle the full menu of the wine list sampling's. So I just requested their 2020 Rose Wine. That all I can muster. This place has a huge orchards of olive trees. Their vineyards are across the casino cache creek. Yes the Bay Area's famous casino to go to. Anyway their tasting room lobby is gorgeous. Since they grow olive trees, we have the chance to sample their 5 varieties of olives they produce at their site. I couldn't share much about the different flavors of wines (I had too much tasting at other wineries) but I can tell you this. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy your afternoon. They also sandwiches and not just sandwiches. They're delicious. Seka Hills practically is across Cache Creek casino. If you plan to visit the casino, plan to visit Seka Hills, another gem of a winery in Yolo county . read more

It's definitely a drive to get to this tasting room, but well worth it. It's right across the way from Cache Creek casino, and the casino's free WiFi reached the tasting room! Upon walking in, you can immediately tell they're a step up from the rest. Incredibly tall ceilings, minimalist yet effective decor, and plenty of goods for sale. And cool AC! Much appreciated on a 100+ degree day. The bathrooms are super nice too. They had a little trouble checking us in for the Yolo Wine Passport, but customer service was genuine and helpful. Interestingly, our tasting seemed to be different from others I've seen. We sampled three whites and a red dessert wine, and also did the olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting. We also bought a charcuterie board, which was a great addition to the tasting, and something I think that all wineries should offer! Denise helped us a bit and seemed to be training, and was really sweet. Laci was hands on and conversational, which I appreciated. We ended up leaving with a bottle of elderberry balsamic vinegar and a jar of honey, both delicious. They sell beef and have a program to buy it, and it seems to be popular- I'm intrigued! They also have a deli that offers sandwiches and other items that have their products. A unique experience and definitely somewhere I would want to visit again. read more

Seka Hills is located inside the Sugar Mill in Clarksburg. Only a short 30 minute drive from Elk Grove for a winery getaway. The service was wonderful and we felt very welcomed when we visited. They have great wine and were also offered a sample of almonds, almond butter, and honey. We enjoyed all the items and were happy to bring home some goodies. Highly recommend Seka Hills Tasting Room! read more

Visited Seka Hills as part of the Yolo County wine passport and was really blown away! While a bit of a drive compared to the other Wineries, it was pleasant views throughout and our destination had wide pleasant views. I was surprised to find this place so close to Cache Creek and it's crazy to think I would have never known if it wasn't for this Yelp sponsored event. Seka Hills tasting room really brought wow factor with its tasting room. Wide and high-ceiling with windows that open onto its winemaking facilities. There was also seating available outdoors on a semi-covered patio, but we opted to stay inside due to the 108 degree heat. On this particular trip we decided to give their lunch menu a try in addition to the complimentary wine flight. Unlike the others we visited, this place allowed us to pick specific wines we wanted to try and it was nice to be able to pick wines specific to our taste. The servers were quick an attentive and kept an eye for an empty glass. Speaking of service, this place was a champ! We had some unique requests to our menu items and they had no issues adjust menu items for specific changes. We changed one of the sandwiches into a salad and it came out great! This place was my favorite place as the quality of each of our wine choices I really enjoyed. Definitely worth a stop by especially if you are going to cache creek. read more
