THINGS TO SEE & DO
VISIT OUR FOOD GARDEN
Witness what farm to fork really means at the Spier Food Garden. Pre-book to self-harvest on Mondays - Saturdays or just come and explore the seasonal bounty.
HOP ON FOR A SEGWAY ADVENTURE
Experience the splendour of the Cape Winelands on board a Segway. Glide through the vineyards, breathe in the fresh air and savour the views of the Stellenbosch mountains. It’s an exhilarating, two-wheeled, battery-powered ride so you won’t work up a sweat.
EAGLE ENCOUNTERS
Get up close and personal with eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, kites and buzzards. Closer to the ground, you can learn about snakes and lizards. Eagle Encounters has been rehabilitating and releasing birds of prey, and promoting conservation and education on land donated by Spier for two decades. These birds are natural pest controllers so no need for pesticides on the farm.
CELEBRATE THE ARTS
Gaze upon the work of established and emerging artists featured in the Spier Art Collection, one of the largest contemporary collections in the country, and showcased across the farm. You can plot your own route or join a walking tour to be sure you don’t miss a thing!
CRAFT MARKET FUN
Stroll through our vibrant craft market to find the perfect memento or special gift. Support local artisans – and watch them at work – by choosing from a colourful assortment of artworks and handmade products. Want to make something yourself? Learn the basics from an artisan of your choice.
ELEMENTAL PLAY GARDEN
The Spier Elemental Play Garden is just a stone’s throw from Spier Farm Café and Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery. Features of the garden include a slide landscaped into earth mounds, a tunnel to crawl through, a Charl Conradie wind sculpture and a swing bridge. The water in the Water quadrant has been treated and is safe to splash about in – perfect for hot summer days.
SPA TIME
Knead out the knots and melt away tension, leaving you revived and refreshed. The Spier Spa offers skin, body and massage treatments. Select treatments can be enjoyed on the deck overlooking the Eerste River, providing a calming soundtrack to your spa experience.
BROWSE OUR SHOPS
With a carefully curated selection of goodies that will leave your body feeling nurtured and your home looking beautiful, the Spier Shop offers visitors a chance to take home a little piece of farm life. Situated in both the hotel and Tasting Room, browse the shelves for wine, gifts and keepsakes.
SELF-GUIDED WALKS
Explore Spier’s fascinating history, immerse yourself in nature, encounter extraordinary art pieces and learn about our sustainability ethos on one of our self-guided walks.
MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL
Hop onto the saddle and pedal your way through 20km of picturesque mountain bike trail in the heart of the Cape Winelands. The signposted route, created and maintained by the Wine Lands Cycling Club, combines single tracks and farm roads in a beautifully meandering journey.
BOOK YOUR SPOT
There’s always something happening at Spier. Take a look at our upcoming special events, concerts, tours and workshops. From fireside theatre performances and live music to picnics and garden workshops, you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained.
FOOD & WINE
TASTE AND BUY WINE
Enjoy our award-winning wine at the Spier Tasting Room. Opt for a tasting experience or order your favourite wine with an olive, cheese or cured meat board. Stock up and buy our wine at cellar door prices.
SPIER PICNICS
Our delicious, farm-inspired picnics change with the seasons. We source as many ingredients as possible from our own farm and trusted local producers. Baskets must be ordered at least 24 hours in advance and can be collected between 12.00 and 14.00 from the Picnic Collection Point next to the Spier Farm Café.
FARM CAFÉ
Grab delicious ready to eat favourites or build your own picnic and enjoy the Werf and our farm’s other outdoor spaces. Stock up on pantry and freezer staples to take home and select a gift or two from our carefully curated farm shop.
VADAS SMOKEHOUSE & BAKERY
Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery creates a place where families and friends can join together and eat food that is carefully, ethically and healthily sourced and prepared. Although meat is what you would expect from a smokehouse – think smoked beef brisket, juicy smoked pork with a bourbon BBQ sauce or smoked pork belly with apple ketchup – there is a considered focus on ample, delicious vegetarian dishes.
HOTEL RESTAURANT
Join us for a contemporary country breakfast, lunch or dinner, or take a seat at our wine bar for your favourite drinks and some tasty snacks. Our chefs take pride in creating the most delicious dishes, from burgers and game to a variety of traditional farm specialities.
