A Spring Celebration In The Nuy Valley

The evening was perfect: balmy, windless, with a promise of summer. Perfectly groomed gardens all around us as we mingled on the manicured lawns under the stars at Leipzig, right here on our doorstep in the Nuy Valley, a mere 10 kilometres from Worcester.

This was a celebration of good food, superb wine and beautiful music.  The chef did an excellent job, each plate carefully selected to suit the wine.   Just so, the wine master selected the best wines to complement the beautifully prepared dishes so that each could shine.

Well done not only for the splendid evening but also for coming up with a unique concept in which the selected music interpreted what we tasted.  Well done, Vian and Lida, for a delightful evening.   I suggest we make this an annual celebration of your harvest.

Celebrating excellence, Leipzig Country House proudly received the prestigious Veritas Award for its 2014 Gold Master Blend, along with Silver and Bronze awards for other outstanding wines, assuring visitors of top-quality experiences.

Located on scenic Route 62, Leipzig Country House offers travellers a picturesque escape with luxury accommodation, stunning views, and warm country hospitality.

Combining original Cape-Dutch architecture with carefully constructed modern conveniences, the farm as it stands today has 20 luxury guest suites and spacious event and recreational facilities to accommodate both large and small groups. With their sincere appreciation of history and a love for restoration, the Smit family, together with the artist couple Anastasia and Alexander Lochenkov, have carefully and patiently created an old-village atmosphere on this 200-year-old working wine farm. Describes this magnificent destination perfectly.
