Spier History - Sannie's Story
This short tour takes you around Spier’s historic farmyard, the Werf. Researched and written by acclaimed playwright Brett Bailey, it offers a fictionalised account of the world of a Stellenbosch wine farm around 200 years ago. The narrator is Sannie de Goede, a slave woman on the Spier Estate in 1836, on the eve of her freedom.
Heritage Walk
Free circular walk, 90 minutes
A beautiful meander along coral tree-lined avenues, through indigenous gardens and past historic buildings such as the 1822 Manor House. Along the way, info boards explore Spier’s environmental, social and architectural heritage as well as its commitment to a sustainable future. The circular route can be joined at any point, though we recommend you begin at the Tasting Room or Hotel. Although it takes roughly 90 minutes you can end your walk at any time. There are also two callout points that add about an hour onto the walk. Comfortable shoes are recommended.
River Walk
Well-known landscape architect Patrick Watson and horticulturalist Wilton Sikhosana established this walk on the south bank of the Eerste River. Learn about Spier’s alien-clearing and rehabilitation efforts as you wander through a sublime showcase of indigenous plants.
Walk The Farm
Starting at the Hotel entrance, this hour-long tour narrated by Spier’s family owner Mariota Enthoven will introduce you to the farm’s many facets: from art and wines to hospitality and heritage. You’ll also learn about our efforts to forge a sustainable future, through organic farming, the rehabilitation of fragile indigenous ecosystems and our eco-friendly wastewater plant and water-wise winery.
