Leopard’s Leap closes tourism experience in face of Corona threat

As a precaution, all the popular guest experiences at Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards will be closed from Monday, 16 March until Monday, 23 March 2020. The closure follows information from a guest who visited sister estate, La Motte during the previous week and shared his positive test results for COVID-19 on Sunday, 15 March.

As the estates share some key staff members, it was decided to err on the side of caution and close the tourism offering at the popular Franschhoek destination. All staff involved are under immediate self-isolation while Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards ensure best practice when it comes to health and safety measures.

“The safety of our guests and staff is our first priority”, says Leopard’s Leap CEO, Hein Koegelenberg. “We will monitor the situation carefully and hope to open our doors to the public as soon as possible.”

The Hospitality team will be in touch to reschedule existing bookings and although Leopard’s Leap wines are widely available in South African supermarkets, they can also be ordered online.
