Spier: at the core of Stellenbosch’s wine trail

 Experience a three-century regression at Spier Wine Farm and Hotel, with gabled Cape Dutch architecture, vast lawns adjacent to the Eerste River, and vistas of the Helderberg Mountains in Stellenbosch, the nation’s second oldest municipality.  The farm is widely recognized as possessing the oldest dated wine cellar in the region.

 Stellenbosch remains a town characterized by expansive farms and vineyards; however it has evolved into a vibrant student center and holiday locale, with its oak-lined streets populated by students from the esteemed Stellenbosch University.  The town is abundant in wine farms and pubs, while also serving as a haven for culinary enthusiasts and nature aficionados, featuring numerous nature paths and eateries around the valley.

 Guests may reside in the Spier Hotel’s signature rooms, signature garden terrace rooms, signature riverfront rooms, signature riverside terrace rooms, or suites.  Guests may partake in wine tasting at the Spier Restaurant and Wine Bar, enjoy picnics by the river, and savor light lunches at Eight.  This family-oriented hotel features a children’s playhouse, Segway tours of the farm, eagle encounters, and a craft market.
