“We have a holiday group get together every year the weekend after Thanksgiving. The staff always takes great care of us and today was no different!! Thank you for all the smiles and laughter”

“All around lovely stay. David and Karen were very welcoming and accommodating. Nice relaxing weekend with great views and wine. The rooms were clean and the morning breakfast was delightful. Thanks again!”

“Cozy and quiet wine bar with an excellent wine list, personal service and a niche venue in El Dorado Hills. We ventured out for an early birthday celebration and found this place around 6pm on a Saturday evening. There were two other couples inside. We were promptly seated by the hostess and served a bowl of pub mix while we perused the wine list. You can order a flight or select from several wines by the glass under whites,bubbles or reds. We chose a Rose and a Chardonnay. They also offer a more extensive wine list by the bottle or half bottle with some very nice selections and have a small food menu that include charcuterie options, caprese salad, hummus, etc. We didn't order food and were pleasantly surprised when the owner brought out a small chocolate lava Bundt cake with fresh berries to acknowledge my birthday!”

“Very nice winery. The scenery is amazing. We did a tasting and it was a wonderful experience. David M was super friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were quite good and reasonably priced. Honestly, it was much better experience than the ones we had in Napa. Definitely will come back if in the area.”

“My partner and I explored this state park for the first time on Thursday. It's pretty spread out so there is a lot of walking if you do more than the museum but it's beautiful out here. If you come on a weekday there is likely going to be a field trip so I would recommend a weekend. There is a cafe in the park that we tried and enjoyed (see my review for the Argonaut Cafe) and the museum was interesting but just walking around the park was my favorite part since there was a lot to learn outside of the museum as well. I found this place more interesting than Sutter's Fort so I would check this place out if you are interested in the history of the gold rush.”

“Highly recommend Earthtrek for anyone looking to make a whitewater rafting trip along the American River. We stayed in their riverside deluxe tents and really enjoyed the location which despite being in near triple digit temperatures with the weather was very cool thanks to the location along the river. Jerry is a great host and an excellent cook. Meals were outstanding and well balanced. OARS is next to Earthtrek which made the location very convenient. Thank you Jerry!”

“Alphonso, it was an honor meeting you and spending time with you on this New Years Day 2024.We are so glad to have met you and spent time this evening tasting and having a glass of this pure gold. We also met a wonderful couple, Gary and Antoinette, planning their wedding. The sunset was just as good as the wine.”

“I had the perfect wedding at Newcastle Gardens. I got married in early November. Working with Matt and Jess was so easy. They both work very hard to give you a beautiful wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. Jess did our floral arrangements, table decor and seating chart. When we first met to discuss what type of look I was going for, she had a lot of creative ideas and was highly collaborative. I ended up giving her a lot of creative leeway because I truly felt like she understood the look and vibe I wanted to create for my wedding. She over delivered. I might be biased, but my wedding looked so good! I was thrilled, I could not get over how gorgeous my flowers and the decor looked. Matt did our menu, and everything tasted fantastic. We did a very autumnal themed menu and his ideas were awesome. He really can cook anything. They also made sure that my groom and I had enough time to eat! My guests were salivating over everything that was served. The venue is BYOB, but they do provide that bartender. We had Abe and he was so friendly. The venue also provides a day of coordinator, we had Jordan, she was so personable and efficient. She got everyone where they were supposed to be, and I felt like she solved 1000 things before I even knew there was a potential issue. No one bothered me at my wedding thanks to her! My husband and I were able to just enjoy our celebration and each other. She even made us a dinner plate and brought it to our table! In case you couldn't tell by this review I am over the moon about my experience with Newcastle Gardens. Matt, Jess, Jordan and everyone there is worth their weight in gold.”

“Wow, where to start?? Jane and everyone at BOMV was so kind and caring with our wedding process from our first tour to the big day and beyond! We visited 14 (!!) venues and considered 20 more, but we went with BOMV because it was number one in beauty, customer service, amenities, and value!! The venue is so stunning that we only needed minimal decor and let the natural and architectural beauty shine through. We used the hilltop ceremony site, the Villa for cocktail hour, and the vineyard club for the reception, and doing so made the day feel like it was three events in one, with each part offering something unique. Jane and the BOMV team were always so quick to respond to our millions of questions and provide helpful information which gave us reassurance throughout the whole crazy wedding planning processes. We stayed with our wedding party in the Villa the night of the wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made because we had SO much fun and really wowed everyone with the gorgeous estate. Thank you BOMV for making our big day so perfect! We hope to have a reason to visit soon ❤️”

“I love the arts and can always appreciate a good venue. If I'm there when the Tibetan monks are in town or if I'm out exploring art or listening to music I've always had a good time there. Haven't taken any art classes there, but I do believe they have them. Check it out.”

“Beautiful inn managed by beautiful people. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and fun. The view is magnificent. This business is very generous to the community.”

“Booked last minute. Couldn't find any availability online so I called the main line. Got a call back right away and booked the Wood room. We were the only people staying here. Some of the decor shown in the pictures on Yelp have been removed. It is a beautiful home and has a very comfortable vibe. Views are absolutely amazing. I would definitely stay here again”

“Played on Feb 23rd with a 10:10 tee time. Have played this course a number of times and always have enjoyed it, even though the greens are some of the most challenging I've experienced. It was cart path only this day (warranted with all the rain we've had) which added more physicality to the round, but certainly didnt take anything away from the beauty of the course. The fairways were fairly saturated, but overall the track was in good condition especially the treacherous greens. The only area of improvement is the sand traps. While they look manicured and appear to be fluffy, hardpan is literally an inch below what little sand there is. Finished the round in the typical 4 1/2 hours. This course used to host some pro tournaments and while not Tour quality now, it remains a solid layout that will challenge even the single digit peeps to score well.”

“It's a family tradition now to go there every year. We book the camping spot each year right after we leave there. It's very family friendly with a lot of camping activities and good facilities. The restrooms and shower rooms are clean and spacious. It's right next to the American River with a good view and convenient to arrange a day trip on the water for rafting. The store is lovely and it carries almost everything you need for camping. Their souvenirs are cute too. You can even buy a small bottle of gold for kids :)”
