We sat on these hay bales inside a cargo that was attached to a tractor that took us around the facility. The scenery is amazing with the hills in the backgrounds and their ranch area was nice. After the tour, we enjoyed a glass some of their red wine which was great. The next time we come we definitely have to get a bottle. My wife ended up getting a cookbook in the tasting room and I bought some hot sauce. All the staff were very accommodating and answered any questions we had. Everyone is very welcoming. And the tri tip competition was fun too, we ate so much. This is a nice spot to check out that's just down the road from Cache Creek Casino. The food, wine, amd scenery are top notch!

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.

When I was a subscriber I truly felt like I was connected with the farmers, not just a business but families. I loved the variety and miss the dried fruits, eggs and meat options that I could add to my order. Yes sometimes you end up getting carrots and leafy greens every week, that's because it's carrot and leafy green season. Be it too little or too much rain, pests or other reasons - you're connected and see first hand how everything affects and interacts with the food the farmers labor over. The supermarket has spoiled us, variety all the time is not natural, we have seasons but we ignore this and ship what we want when we want. On a positive spin, we now have tons of carrot recipes. We received a peck each week and visited our local farmers market to supplement. our order. It's easy once it becomes routine. And check out the area's Hoe's Down Festival each October at one of the participating farms (Full Belly). Here you'll get an opportunity to meet the people that make it all happen, tour the farm and see where it all comes from.

I was super-bummed when the Capay Valley Farm Shop in Vacaville shut down several years ago, but…read moresince its closure I've been on their mailing list and that's how I heard about the Farm Shop's Farmshares/CSA program. I've been participating in the CSA since last winter and I'm a huge fan! However, an important distinction I need to begin this review with is that this CSA is NOT the same program as the "Farm Fresh to You" CSA run by Capay Organic, which a lot of Yelpers have already reviewed. I prefer the Farm Shop's CSA over the FFTY program for quite a few reasons, but here are the key differences you need to know about the two when looking for the right CSA for you and your food habits: FFTY delivers directly to your home or office, whereas the Farm Shop CSA program requires that you pick up your produce from a local drop-off point. You do end up paying for the convenience of this direct delivery: FFTY charges $31.50 for a "Regular" size box of nine different fruits and vegetables, whereas the Farm Shop CSA charges $27 for their "Bushel," which has eleven items. Portion-wise there isn't much difference, and my drop-off point is only a couple minutes drive from where I work so having home delivery isn't important to me. FFTY has more "size" options for their deliveries; the Farm Shop has just two choices: the smaller "Peck" ($18 for seven items) and the aforementioned Bushel. FFTY, as far as I can tell, sources its produce from just one farm (Capay Organic). The Farm Shop CSA program on the other hand sources its produce (plus optional add-on goodies like olive oil, nuts, dried fruit, etc.) from a pretty awesome collaborative of Capay Valley farms, including Durst, Full Belly, Good Humus, and Riverdog. FFTY allows you to customize your orders so that you can have more fruit than veggies in your CSA delivery, or more veggies, or all fruit/all veggies. With the Capay CSA program on the other hand, what you get is what you get. There is no customizing or picking and choosing your produce. It is a TRUE CSA where you take what you are given based on the season, the vagaries of the local weather, and availability. Perhaps because it is based on a collaborative of many farms, the Farm Shop CSA program has a spectular feature that FFTY does not have: it allows you to add on other goodies besides produce to your CSA deliveries. As a mostly-vegan I'm not interested in the pasture-raised eggs or Riverdog Farms' naturally raised chicken and pork, but I looooove Taber Ranch's olive oil, the dried fruit from Good Humus, and the raw nuts and dried onions from Full Belly. If you're interested in trying out a CSA, definitely give the Capay Valley Farm Shop's program a try! You can check their website to see if there is a drop-off point near you; if there is, it's pretty easy to get started. Probably the hardest part of this CSA for most people will be the "what you get is what you get" nature of each delivery, but that's what a CSA should be all about, to be quite honest. I actually like that aspect of the program: it did get hard in the winter to deal with chard, chard, chard and more chard, but being forced to try new fruits and vegetables has helped me broaden my palate even further as well as sharpen my cooking skills and expand my repertoire.Thanks to this CSA I've learned that I love celeriac grated and fried in a skillet like hash browns, that there is nothing better in summer than a just-picked boysenberry, and that I can cook delicata squash for lunch in the toaster oven at work. I have the "Bushel" delivered to me every other week. For one person it works out well: I usually go into a frenzy of cooking the first two days after getting my delivery but my time investment in the kitchen for the rest of the fortnight is pretty normal. By the time the next delivery rolls around I've finished nearly everything from the previous delivery, perhaps save for some of the harder root vegetables. I did consider doing the smaller "Peck" on a weekly basis but I prefer the greater variety of the Bushel. My last Bushel consisted of the following: Roma Tomatoes, Slicer Tomatoes (Durst Organic Growers); Chioggia Beets, Padron/Shishito Peppers, Yellow Crookneck Squash (Full Belly Farm); Suncrest Peaches (Good Humus Produce); and French Fingerling Potatoes, Green Curly Kale, Green Slicing Cucumbers, Red Torpedo Onion, Savoy Cabbage (Riverdog Farm). Most of the Roma tomatoes, cukes, and onion went into making a really good panzanella; the slicer tomatoes went into sandwiches; the beets were roasted off in the oven and plopped onto salads; and the peaches got eaten as soon as I got the box home and gave them a quick wash. I still have a week left before my next delivery and all I have left to make use of are three of the torpedo onions, half the kale and cabbage, and the potatoes. Wow, I actually almost ran out of review space! I'll end this by saying thanks, Farm Shop! Can't wait for my next CSA box!

In addition to the many olive trees around the property, they also have a lovely garden that provides ingredients for their outdoor bistro. It's a true farm-to-table experience, with the bistro's offerings changing based on what's available in their garden. *Blistered Peppers: Tasty, well-seasoned, and delicious. Not spicy, just a good pepper taste. Very refreshing, and I loved the huge portion! *Fresh Bread: I love fresh bread, so I appreciated that there were different kinds of bread in the basket. My favorite was the one with olives in it because I love olives. It also comes with some of their iconic olive oils as well as balsamic. *Bucatini with Summer Squash: Also a big portion! The pasta was well cooked, and the pine nuts added excellent flavor. The summer squash was delicious and fresh. *Olive Oil Gelato: Two scoops per order, and I got vanilla with two different olive oil fruit drizzles. It works really well! The oil complements the ice cream, and the ice cream itself is delicious. It has a little more depth of flavor, and I think there's oil incorporated into it as well. I also did the olive oil tasting, which was a great experience as well. It was nice to learn about the process these olives go through, as well as how to assess the taste and quality of olive oil. There's a little shop near the entrance that has all the olive oils they make with descriptions on what they pair well with, balsamic vinegar, and other goodies. My parents loved the ice cream, and ordered another order to-go just before the bistro closed! Overall, the service is excellent and kind, the food is delicious, and the olive oil is plentiful. I think it's worth stopping by if visiting the area, and it's a nice, intimate lunch spot for locals!

But we decided to sit in the larger tasting area that has their wines, barrels etc. They also sell seasonal vegetables at the bar which is a nice touch. They offer olive oil tasting but I didn't want to mix wine and oil so we didn't try the olive oil but I will definitely go back for that. They had many olive oil products for sale - soap, lotions etc. We were greeted by 2 hostesses who offered us a choice to sit at the bar or the tasting room and we choose the tasting room, it had a better ambience. We went on a Tuesday late afternoon, just before they closed at 5pm and we had the place to ourselves. The tasting room has room for at least 50 people without it feeling crowded. You get a choice of 7 tastings for $15 and you can pick what you would like to taste and we picked all whites. We had the 3 white and rose, 2 reserve whites (chardonnay and Sav Blanc) and 2 sweet wines. I am not a fan of Sav Blanc or sweet wines but the ones we tasted were very good. Their chardonnay was well worth the trip by itself. The hostess was friendly and knowledgeable and very engaging. I took one star off for the pours, they were very minimal but delicious.

In addition to the olive oil tasting set, there were some brunch items such as a crostini and salad as well as a Mediterranean plate with hummus. We opted for the crostini, olive oil tasting and a cappuccino. The jalapeño olive oil was unique and flavorful enough that we bought a couple bottles of it to take home. The pear vinaigrette was thick and tangy. The waitresses were friendly and helpful when we had a couple questions about the dishes. The shelves in the shop area is full of flavored olive oils and vinaigrette as well as ceramic and a whole slew of items for serving charcuterie.

We simply asked if they could honor the price of the large, since it wasn't available, and the response we received was simply "No," delivered in a way that felt rude. I understand businesses run out of things, but what was disappointing was how curt the interaction was. Especially given our family's positive impressions and the many people we've recommended here, the interaction was frustrating. The product was good, but the customer service left a very different impression.
