Woordfees with Spier
Spier Blind Tasting: A Multisensory Experience
Begin your festival week by questioning everything you know about wine. Our blindfolded tasting at the Manor challenges your perceptions, revealing how removing sight can unlock hidden layers of aroma and flavour. A fitting start to a week of artistic discovery.

Regenerative Farming Panel: Why Soil Health Matters
The conversation everyone should be having. Join us at the Netwerk24 Discourse Tent in Stellenbosch as we unpack how regenerative farming impacts not just our environment, but the flavour, nutrition and consciousness of what we consume. After all, the story of good food and good wine begins in good soil.

Spier Winemaker Dinner: A Heritage Feast to Share
Stories flow best around a table. At the Manor’s long table, traditional South African flavours will be reimagined in four courses that celebrate our culinary heritage and the joy of coming together over food.
