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.

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

Chris is fantastic guide to all the basics of vineyards and wines and to top it off he makes fantastic wines

This is a truly small, family-owned and operated winery, with a winemaker who farms, hand-picks, and processes the grapes on site with a staff of 2. A wide array of whites and reds are on offer, many with a unique take on blending. I particularly liked the Riesling/Viognier wine.

Wonderful vineyard tour! We have visited many times and our guests always love Chris, the wines and vineyard tour!
Chris Loxton makes some of the best wines in Sonoma Valley. Loxton winery is old school tasting where you can still talk to the winemaker and grower.

Chris and his wife were kind enough to let us have a tasting ahead of our reservation. Chris could not assist us because he had a tour going on, but his wife was so wonderful. I'm not a wine-drinker and I think she suspected that. After telling her I usually drink Moscatos, she scrapped the remaining tasting menu and let me try their dessert wines instead. I ended up buying a bottle. Great explanations to someone who doesn't know much about wine and super down-to-earth.
View is super nice and I enjoyed hearing the animals nearby.

hands down one of my favorite tasting experiences ever. chris is knowledgeable and hilarious and the wines are exceptional. we had to limit ourselves to 4 bottles just because of room in our luggage. will absolutely be back

Nancy is AMAZING! She is so knowledgeable about the entire wine making process, and made the tasting so fun. We bought two bottles and were able to have them ship it to our home. Thanks for a great time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Loxton Cellars. We visited 6 wineries in the area and this one was by far the best! We purchased bottles of the Chardonnay and Zinfandel- both of which are not our usual wine choices, and will continue to order these and more online. The tasting host was very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. If we visit the area again we will definitely be returning here and will certainly be recommending them to friends and family visiting Sonoma. Thank you Loxton Cellars for a great experience and for creating wonderful wine!
