Spier Wine Farm, Stellenbosch

Go with the wine and chocolate pairing: you will have no regrets. The dark chocolates (with with a berry flavor and the other with a spice flavor) paired especially well with the red wines. The atmosphere was quite pleasant and the server gave an excellent, detailed explanation of each wine. I am not a huge fan of wine, but I recommend this place if you are curious about wine.

Spier Wine Farm. It was time to leave Holiday Inn Cape Town and proceed to next destination. Went to a place known as Spier Wine Farm. Much before arrival we were seeing grape vine yards both sides of the road. Spier Wine Farm is one of them. We were supposed to do wine testing here. a huge attraction with some of us. I had only known that there is a Red Wine and there is a White Wine. Red is taken with certain foods & White with certain other food. Before we were offered wine for testing we were given a talk by one of the experts from the Farm. There is much much more to wine then just the colour. There is body , there is smell, there is flavour. thre is fruity, there is sharp and much much more. we had each colour wine with different attributes for testing. Ladies also had a ball. Air force ladies surprised all by not taking or testing wine !!!.

The wine tasting and chocolate pairing was divine. Have always liked Spier wines. Service was a bit slow but it was a busy weekend. A little bit overrun by tourists but the estate grounds are beautiful. And the farm stall has delectable offerings. Take a walk in the gardens or have a picnic on the grass. Many options on offer here. Overall a good experience.

Spier is a wine farm with an array of things to do.The hotel is a wonderful place to stay.There are restaurants to pick and choose and the wines they produce are of excellent quality!! The festival of lights was what brought us here.Beautiful art amongst nature.This review cannot tell you as much as their website what you can do here

My "Happy Place" .. can highly recommend for accommodation, wine tasting, art and nature. Great for a picnic too. Thanks Spier for another amazing holiday. Zee and Joyce went out of their way to ensure we had a great time
