Spier Hotel and Wine Farm

Spier Hotel, situated on the historic Stellenbosch wine farm, is the ideal family-friendly location from which to explore the Cape Winelands. Spier, which has been ranked within the top 100 vineyards in the world, houses one of South Africa's largest contemporary art collections, and offers a variety of restaurants and award-winning wines. The village-style hotel – reminiscent of a quaint village – caters to guests’ every need, from rest and relaxation to adventures for kids and adults. The rooms are clustered around six courtyards, each with its own swimming pool.

Rolling lawns, gardens and walkways connect the rooms with the reception area, lounge, bar, terrace and restaurant. The décor features a sophisticated, vibrant style with strong colours, patterns and textures, and a collection of art that explores contemporary South African culture.

The hotel is a pioneer in responsible tourism and was one of the first in South Africa to be awarded the Fair Trade in Tourism SA accreditation in 2004. In 2011, Condé Nast Traveler World Saver Award recognised the estate as the top international destination ‘Doing it All’. In 2015, Spier was voted 18th Condé Nast Traveler 2015 Readers' Choice Awards list of the top 25 hotels in Africa. It was awarded gold at the African Responsible Tourism Awards 2016 in the category of Best for Accommodation for Responsible Employment, as well as gold in the Responsible Business category at the 2020 Inspirational Africa Responsible Tourism Awards.

When you visit Spier, your tastebuds are in for a treat. While each of our outlets and restaurants has its own distinctive style and ambience, each is united in its passion for down-to-earth — and utterly delicious! — flavours and top-notch ingredients. These are sourced from our pastures and gardens, as well as trusted local producers who share our commitment to quality. Order a pre-made seasonal picnic and settle down on a blanket in one of the farm’s many shaded nooks for an alfresco feast. Fancy something a little more ad hoc? Then grab mouthwatering ready-made meals (as well as fridge and pantry fillers) from the Spier Farm Café. Let the kids loose on the Werf’s lawns while you unwind at Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery, where fire and smoke transform pasture-reared meats and vegetables into one of the most memorable meals you’ll have in the Winelands. Its exquisite pastries and fresh sourdough loaves will offer you delectable reminders of your time there to enjoy at home.

At our Tasting Room, Spier’s acclaimed wines take centre stage — but as you soak up vintages and mountain views, you’ll find its food pairings and charcuterie and cheese platters play a stellar supporting role.

Travellers from far and wide rave about the bountiful breakfast at Spier Hotel. No matter the time of day, you’ll be delighted by what’s on the menu at the Hotel Restaurant and Bar — whether you’re sitting down for a lazy lunch, sundowners and snacks, or tucking into comforting classics under the stars come dinnertime.

Our farm is your playground. Explore our pastures and vineyards on foot, bike or Segway. Encounter art – from soaring sculptures to contemporary canvases. Let the kids be enthralled by our Elemental Play Garden or take them to meet raptors at Eagle Encounters rehabilitation centre.
