Loxton Winery is a five-acre estate vineyard in Sonoma Valley. This working winery produces handcrafted wines at a rate of 3,000 cases annually with 40% coming directly from the estate. This is an excellent place to watch the winemaking process from vine to glass. Vineyard Walkabout tours are offered weekends. Visitors get the nitty-gritty on the agricultural aspect of the vineyard, followed by a private seated tasting where they’ll learn even more. Crush Pad tours are offered seasonally during harvest where guests get an up-close-and-personal experience of watching grapes being sorted and crushed. Relaxed seated tastings, including limited wines, are held in the Reserve Room with reservations.
