Visit the Spier Food Garden
Don’t be surprised if you encounter 15 Indian Runner Ducks in the garden. They’re just taking care of pests naturally. Growing delicious, fresh and nutrient-rich produce using eco-friendly and regenerative techniques is what the garden is all about. Find out about how you can grow your own fruits, herbs and veggies at home or pay R150 to harvest produce from the garden to take home with you. Spier Food Garden is open daily to visitors from 09:00 to sunset, self-harvesting takes place Monday - Saturday and needs to be pre-booked.
Visit our art exhibitions
Check out current exhibitions: Disrupt II by Emma Willemse and Occupants of the Inhabited, curated by Kefiloe Siwisa and featuring local artists. Entry to exhibitions are free and open to visitors every day between 9:00 and 17:00. Alternatively, walk through the grounds, enjoying more than 1,000 artworks and 30 outdoor sculptures on display.
We all scream for Unframed Ice Cream

Bucketlist foodie item: Pastéis de Nata
Head over to Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery for its world-famous Pastéis de nata, a Portuguese custard tart that is worth the trip. Enjoy a taste of Portugal in the idyllic setting of Stellenbosch. At only R28 each, let’s just say you will find it hard to limit yourself to one.

Meet the Eagles at Eagle Encounters
Birds of prey have been rehabilitated and released on land donated by Spier for more than two decades. There are many advantages to this: conservation, education and ecological balance as the birds are natural hunters of common pests meaning that pesticides are not needed. Encounter eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, kites, buzzards, snakes and lizards. Entry fees: Adults R90, children aged 3-12 R70, students (with student cards) & pensioners R75.
