(Wines&Vines) - The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation introduced Seka Hills Wines earlier this year, notching a new chapter in the history of this Native American tribe with the release of its first branded commercial agricultural product. The Yocha Dehe, owners and operators of Cache Creek Casino Resort, have made a major investment, acquiring and developing agricultural land in the Capay Valley, their ancestral homeland in Yolo County about 40 miles northwest of Sacramento. The Yocha Dehe own more than 7,000 acres in the Capay Valley, most of it purchased in the past decade, as the tribe sought to diversify its economic operations and reconnect with the land and its agrarian heritage.
