Delightful owner and winemaker with tasty wine. We had a wonderful experience at Loxton Winery and you know you are learning from someone who loves his job and his relationships with the growers. We learned a great deal and would highly recommend!

Highly recommend this winery for anyone looking for great wine and a fantastic winemaker all at reasonable price! Chris was funny and delightful to spend an afternoon with.

Taste like they spilled some red wine into a thing of brandy. Not what I want in a port at all.

If you are looking for a cute, family run winery this is the place to go. The owners Chris and Christy are terrific. The wine tastings are affordable, the setting is beautiful and quaint. It is located just off Hwy 12 in Glen Ellen and a great stop when you are wine tasting in Sonoma County.

Of the eight wineries we visited on this trip, Loxton was the best tasting experience hands down. From the second we stepped out of our car, Chris and his wife - who was amazing, so sorry I've forgotten your name! - were lovely hosts. We received both an in-depth tasting experience and just a wonderful conversation in general.
The wines were delicious; our favorites were the Syrah, Cab, and both Port-style wines, but everything was great, and very reasonably priced as well. There's several places to sit outside and soak up the beautiful vineyard and hillside views as well.
We will definitely be back on our next trip!

We had such an incredible time at Loxton Cellars. Chris Loxton gave us an incredible tour and walk around his winery. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and an expert at crafting wine! We can’t wait to return and will certainly recommend this place to anyone we know going to Sonoma.

Fabulous tasting hosted by winemaker Chris Loxton. Clearly detailed the entire winemaking process including showing us the grape vats and barrels. Luckily we were there at harvest time and got a real time look at the complexities of winemaking. Loxton wines are wonderful and it was a remarkable day for all 15 of us! Thank you!

The wine tasting and experience was amazing. We didn't purchase any food; we brought our own lunch. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Best value in the valley.

Chris shared his wine and his stories. A wonderful experience. Highly recommend stopping in.
So wonderful getting to know Chris and learning so much about wine making. His wines are delicious!!

Let me start by saying this was an amazing wine experience. We visited Sonoma a few weeks ago for my birthday. This was our first tour of our stay and it likely made all the others a slight less enjoyable. Chris was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable. We walked around the property and learned about the land, grapes, neighbors, natural agricultural techniques, and even the animals on the property. To describe this experience as enjoyable, would be an understatement. We would 100% recommend. Thanks, Chris. It was the perfect start to our week. We honestly compared all the rest in Sonoma and Napa to this one.

Walk about with Chris was so interesting. Getting to talk directly with a vintner was inspiring to hear the ups and downs of the business. His commitment to excellence and his passion for his craft is clear. And his wines are delicious. So close to Sonoma where we stayed. I heartily recommend the tour and the wine. It's not a restaurant, but an experience.

Highly recommend! My fiance and I recently visited this winery as part of a winery tour. A must-visit winery!! The wine is fantastic and Chris is so knowledgeable and fun to listen to as he explains the winemaking process and tells a story about each wine. I appreciate the time he spent with our group. We learned so much and had a great time. The rose' was the best rose' I've ever had. I tend to lean towards red wines in general, not typically drinking a rose', but this one at Loxton was incredible and changed my entire perspective. All of the wines we tasted were excellent. The grenache and syrah also were favorites. Superb winery and hope to visit again someday!

Just delightful and not pretentious. The curly dark haired younger guy (Ryan) gave a great explanation of the growing process, the vines, how the wines are made - just outstanding. This was the best vineyard we saw – we bought a case
