This place is small, you could easily miss it. If you like a good Syrah, don't. The port was also delicious.

Chris Loxton hails from South Australia and his interest in Shiraz (Syrah) reflects this. Shiraz has been a key part of the South Australian wine landscape for some 150 years. Chris also produces a magical Cabernet Sauvignon (McGraw Vineyard) and, although we loved the shiraz, this cabernet was our wine of choice to take home, along with a delectable late... More

We found Loxton while on a wine tour and are glad we did. The owner is passionate about his wine and was actually pretty funny. I can't forget to mention that we really enjoyed his wine as well

Nice little, off-the-beaten-path winery. for two years in a row, the owner was presenting his wines for tasting. Great appetizers. This is a nice place to sit out at the open picnic tables and have a picnic.

My husband and I went here based on a friend's recommendation. It's a very simple laid back place. You basically walk into a small "warehouse" area to do the tasting. It's the room where they store their wine barrels. The guy who did our tasting was very cool and genuine and showed us around the property a bit. All of... More

This place was an absolute find! Several people recommended we check out this small winery and it was a great tip. You'll almost always find the owner/winemaker Chris Loxton at the winery and the best part is-he talks to everyone that comes in! You'll get all your questions about winemaking answered with no hard sell. Chris is from Australia and... More

Chris Loxton's operation is the epitomy of the small boutique Sonoma/Napa Valley winery that makes any tgrip to wine country memorable. Who better to learn from than a third generation (Maybe 4th) grape grower and former college professor from Australia. Chris is warm, engaging and most importantly down to earth. You will love him and his winery not to speak... More
