You could win a Loxtonia Cider hamper consisting of 32 of the all-natural apple ciders (8x of each variant) along with a branded bar blade in IOL's #MyHeart competition.

Just because Valentine's Day 2019 is done and dusted, doesn't mean the romantic gestures have to end. If you're stuck for ideas (and cash), how about watching the sunset together?

Who doesn't love the magic of a sunset best viewed in summer, somewhere in nature, away from electronic devices, and with a drink in hand.

How about Loxtonia Cider, voted Best Cider of 2018 at the Cape Town Beer Festival? 

Blended in the heart of the Western Cape farmlands, Loxtonia Cider responds to South Africa’s demand for a genuine artisanal cider – coming straight from Ceres to the City. 

Their range of ciders are made with hand-picked apples from the Ceres Valley. The apples are freshly pressed and naturally fermented to produce a premium, natural cider with no preservatives or artificial additives.
