Winery closures in response to Covid-19

Winery closures in response to Covid-19
published on:

Announcements of the temporary closure of the hospitality sectors of certain wine farms have been streaming in since Monday, following the news that several wineries have had exposure to members of a tour group who have since tested positive for Covid-19. As wineries depend on tourism, it is important not to spread panic and keep an eye on the affected farms' social media pages for accurate info.

The closure of winery restaurants and tasting rooms are precautionary measures aiming to limit the spread of Covid-19. A few wineries who did not have contact with the tour group who have since confirmed positive Covid-19 cases, have also come to the decision to close their tourism offerings for a period of up to two weeks with the health and safety of both staff and visitors being a main priority.

Although wine cannot be enjoyed in some of our favourite tasting rooms or winery restaurants in the following weeks, it is business as usual in terms of sales and online sales of wine. For many of these wineries, you can still order your favourite wines to be delivered to your home.
