Award-winning wine paired with innovative food is what youll find at our tasting room on the banks of the Spier dam. Relax in the airy lounge area, and enjoy stunning views of the Helderberg mountains, or take your glass outside onto the sunny patio and gaze across the rolling lawns.

For wine tasting, settle in at the parquet tables and admire the iconic Heath Nash chandelier — made from 334 recycled Spier wine bottles and weighing 370kgs — which hangs above the tasting counter.

You can either enjoy a set wine tasting (see the list below), with or without a food pairing, or order whatever you like with an olive, cheese or cured meat board.

Tastings include:

Spier Tasting (R40 pp): Choose three wines from our Signature range and one from each of the two premium wine ranges, 21 Gables and Creative Block.

Chocolate and wine tasting (R70 pp): Inspired by our Spier Signature Methode Cap Classique and our Spier Creative Block blends, the chocolatier has carefully crafted chocolates that complement and unlock nuanced flavours in each of our liquid treasures.

Frans K Smit Tasting (R90 pp): The two premium wine ranges plus Spiers flagship wine, Frans K Smit.

Childrens Grape Juice Tasting (R40 pp): This tasting is the ideal way to keep the youngsters busy with a fun lucky packet and a tasting of three different grape juices and an educational activity sheet highlighting the role insects play in our vineyards.

Seasonal Spring Tasting (R95 pp): This special tasting includes summer inspired food and wine pairings, and is available from the Spier Tasting Room for R95 per person, until 15 November.

Food platters to pair with the tastings are also be available for sale. For groups of eight or more, a reservation is required. Larger groups can be accommodated in the tasting room at the Cow House. Please ensure that bookings are made and confirmed at least 48 hours in advance.

    Our booking was for 4pm, which is the last wine tasting for the day. Sadly the kitchen had closed at 4pm when we arrived. As a result we could try the soup and wine tasting as initially booked. We opted for the wine & chocolate tasting which was beautiful, I’ll definitely visit again to get the full experience. Our host/server was very impressive on her wine knowledge, very friendly. Thank you.

    The set menu was an inconvenience because I was initially there for the wine tasting, and was told it comes as a pairing with the platter. The platter wasn’t tasty at all but the wines were good. It would have been better if we could order food from the menu. The ladies were very friendly and the service were great.

    We bought some breads, cold meats, cheeses and salads at the deli and had a picnic at the dam. The food was a bit pricey, but delicious. We also did the wine tasting which was excellent-we had Ryna who was fun and knowledgeable. We were joined by a Harrier Hawk which was a very memorable experience. Absolutely had a marvelous time, what a beautiful place!

    Anthony VS was a most hospitable host. He toured the winery grounds with us, engaged in a wine tasting and then took us to the smokehouse for a wonderful lunch. Anthony is a true asset to Spier and a fantastic contact for me with Total Wine in the United States.

    Although it's a tasting, I do feel that the soup that was served in mini baby-chino cups, is way too little. The portion size is literally 2 sips and not served in the ramekins as shown. I only saw a few plates going out served in ramekins - serving the soup in small cups, shows that even when all bookings were pre-booked, there were not sufficient amounts of crockery. In saying that, the soup was amazing and the experience enjoyable.
