Few destinations do winter quite like Spier does. On this historic Stellenbosch estate there are log fires blazing in the Tasting Room, the Spier Hotel’s Lounge, and each of its restaurants.
Then there are Spier’s deliciously warming – and award-winning – red wines. Outside, the farm is magical at this time of year. The air is crisp, skies moody and quiet paths meander through the estate, inviting you for a stroll. If you prefer, you can explore on a bicycle, available from Hotel reception.
You’d be forgiven, however, if you eschewed the great outdoors altogether and remained ensconced in your Hotel room. A gas fire and cosy country-inspired colour palette makes this the ideal hibernation pod. It’s the perfect venue for a spot of pampering too: our experienced Spier Spa therapists are available for in-room treatments, ranging from massages to facials. Feeling peckish? Order in – a picnic from the Spier Farm Kitchen can be delivered straight to your room.
It would be a pity to miss out on tasting Spier’s wide range of acclaimed blends and single varietals at Spier’s cosy Tasting Room. Pouring with rain? Spier has you covered, with a complimentary golf cart shuttle between the Hotel and Tasting Room.
And so, when the mercury drops and the clouds roll in, instead of languishing at home, head to Spier for an invigorating break away in the country. When it’s time to return to the city, you’ll be rested and ready to take on the world.
