Welcome to the family: Leipzig Country House & Winery is a family business and guests and staff members become like family too. We work together as a family, celebrate as family and this feeling of togetherness spills over to you, our visitors. We want you to visit us, your relatives in the countryside. Tales as old as time: We are proud of our rich heritage and legacy as a 200-year-old working wine farm. This ties into our family values because everyone on the farm shares in this birthright and works together to uphold it. Good old honest goodness: From quince preserves to freshly picked figs to the olive oil pressed from our own olives to the rosemary from our garden that you will find on your pillow – we don’t take shortcuts, we painstakingly make most things from scratch, over time, with love. Country-style vibe: For us personal attention underwrites our unassuming country hospitality. Tailor-making your experience with special details and finishing touches is our passion, because we’re a family, and you’re not just a number.

All good things take time. And it’s an art we’ve perfected over time. From the way we produce our wines, to our people who spend hours honing their craft on a working farm that works hard to preserve the magic and glory of days gone by. You come to Leipzig to savour every taste, reconnect with sublime beauty and meet in an inspiring country paradise where everything has its place in the order of things. Where all things tell a story. Stay over, get married, or simply meet at Leipzig Country House - where timeless traditions meet modern living. Find us on Route 62 (only 90 minutes drive from Cape Town). Road trip without a map, a weekend wedding or time-out from checking the time – we’ve got 17 luxury, en-suite guest suites, a 3-bedroom, self catering house, spacious event and recreational spaces and award-winning wines waiting for you.
