History and Heritage:
Spier Wine Farm, located in the Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa, is one of the country’s oldest wine estates, with a rich history dating back to 1692. Its long-standing traditions are deeply woven into the fabric of the Cape Winelands’ wine culture. Over centuries, Spier has evolved from a traditional farm into a world-renowned destination known for its commitment to sustainability, art, community development, and premium wine production.

Location and Terroir:
Situated on the banks of the Eerste River, the farm enjoys a moderate Mediterranean climate, ideal for viticulture.

Initiatives such as organic waste composting, water recycling, and support for local community projects underscore their holistic vision: "Growing for Good."

Wines and Winemaking Approach:
Spier’s winemaking team, led by experienced and passionate winemakers, embraces a philosophy that respects terroir and minimizes intervention. Their portfolio ranges from accessible, everyday drinking wines to more complex, cellar-worthy selections. Signature ranges include the Spier Signature, 21 Gables, and Creative Block collections, each reflecting distinctive expressions of Stellenbosch’s diverse microclimates.

Hospitality and Experiences:
Beyond the vineyards, Spier offers a celebrated hospitality experience. The estate features a historic hotel, world-class restaurants showcasing farm-to-table cuisine, and a vibrant contemporary art collection. Visitors can enjoy activities like wine tastings, picnics on the lawns, and Segway vineyard tours, all set against a backdrop of scenic beauty and Cape Dutch architecture.
