The Picnickery has always been one of Spier’s most loved stops. Reimagined by celebrated designer, chef and restaurateur Jacques Erasmus and brought to life by chef Hennie Nel and the Spier kitchen team, it is now part working farm kitchen, part artisan grocer.

Pre-book a curated picnic basket or build your own from the deli counter, choosing from farm cheeses, charcuterie, house-made dips, slow-fermented breads and something sweet. The grocer’s shelves are stocked with nourishing, nutrient-dense, farm-grown produce and small-batch pantry provisions. As we like to say, this is good food grown in good soil. Watch roosterbrood blister on an open fire, or sample open-faced bites topped with cured meats, smoked fish or roasted vegetables, paired with a favourite Spier wine. In summer, the stoep opens wide to the werf; in winter, we know the fire will draw you in. Something is always on the go. Come and find us. 

Request your basket at least 24 hours in advance for an effortless outing. Each basket includes seasonal treats from our garden and local producers, plus blankets, cutlery, and glasses. Choose from classic, vegetarian, vegan, or children’s baskets. Please contact werf@spier.co.za.
