Situated near Stellenbosch, Spier is one of South Africa’s oldest wine farms with a recorded winemaking history dating back to 1692. Their wines are among the most awarded in the country. Visit them and enjoy their wines paired with wholesome, tasty food made with ingredients grown either on the farm or by trusted, nearby farmers. If you feel like lingering, their Hotel offers an inspiring Winelands getaway in the tranquillity of nature.
PICNICKERY:
Grab delicious ready to eat favourites or build your own picnic and enjoy the Werf and the farm’s other outdoor spaces.
Spier has gone to great lengths to source local, natural and organic produce for their picnics and therefore do not allow private picnics. No own food and drinks are permitted on the farm. Thank you for your support.
Their farm offers plenty of tranquil spots for you to enjoy your picnic. Laze under the ancient oaks of the historic farmyard, the Werf, or head to the Riverside picnic area to relax on the grassy banks of the dam, surrounded by boulders and birdsong.
Their seasonally-inspired picnics are always fresh and nourishing. They source as many ingredients as possible from their farm or trusted local producers. In addition to their standard seasonal picnic basket, they also offer vegan, vegetarian, and kids’ options. Blankets, cutlery and glassware are included with pre-booked baskets. Grab an ice bucket and select from our award-winning range of wines for the perfect picnic pairing.
VADAS SMOKEHOUSE & BAKERY:
Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery creates a place where family and friends can join together and eat food that is carefully, ethically and healthily sourced and prepared.
Vadas believes in supporting local, quality-driven businesses (chicken, eggs and meats supplied by Spier’s Farmer Angus). Farm-to-plate dining embraces simple dishes and showcases the quality of produce. 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.
Lots to enjoy, come and explore with us!
