Séka Hills Olive Mill and Tasting Room - Brooks, California

I am bummed I didn’t find this place sooner! Only an hour from Sacramento and such a gem. They make olive oil, balsamic, honey, wine, vegetables and beef on top of wine!! If you join the wine club you get fresh veggies for free! And you get 15% off of their beef cuts. I also love that they have a tasting room in midtown Sacramento where you can also do your pick ups.

The creamy honey is the best! The olive oil are also great but we suggest the creamy honey. They also have olive oil ice cream which is pretty good too! There’s beautiful almond blossoms you can view from the county road. Go take a tour and be amazed!

I highly recommend this winery it was so beautiful and calm. The staff were phenomenal! Laura was amazing 🤩 we loved how attentive she was to us, she had a table ready for our group under the pergola. The wines are delicious. The scenery is beautiful your surround by mountains. They also have olive oil which was so good. The honey is great here too. Please come visit, the price for wine tasting was very reasonable. You won’t regret it.

I came here for a vendor event and enjoyed the winery. They have a lot of parking for people, they had outside tables and a live band playing music. Inside was more wine tasting along with a little daily that sells sandwiches and some good pasta salad. They also had a few sandwiches you can purchase. I did not get a chance to look at their olive oil but I hear it's pretty good. They have beautiful small wine glasses for people and several other food items for sale. The restrooms were clean with hand dryers as well as some good, thick quality paper towels. They also have tours of the winery.

Traveling on vacation we were actually looking for an olive oil tasting and happened to stop at Séka Hills winery where they actually have both.
Jen was fantastic- we were a little pressed for time since we were on our way to the airport- she was very knowledgeable and took great care of us!
I like a sweeter wine but the wines here are very good.

As I had never been to any wineries in Yolo County before, I took full advantage of my day by venturing out to places 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. 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.

Love visiting Seka Hills! They are pouring at Woodland Winefest this year and we're so excited to have them out tasting wine and olive oils.

Great olive oil place with a very welcoming environment. Tour was educational with lots of details on olives and oil production
