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.

    Gorgeous venue, horrendous customer service. Waiter did not deserve the tip on my entire bill including the wine I bought. Secondly, my daughter (who bought the gift voucher on the 13th June 2023) confirmed with me today that she bought 2 x wine tastings (not one). The waiter insisted that my voucher was only for one and charged me for the 2nd one. Lastly, he started to "chase us" to finish up as he wanted to make my table available. If there is one thing I do not appreciate, is being hurried to finish up and leave. I will be taking this further with customer services.

    Amazing experience, staff are extremely knowledgeable and the venue caters for the higher and lower LSM community. Definitely returning and would recommend them 1000 times as one of the best wine farms in CPT

    I wouldn’t recommend, just based on the service, because service is everything to me and the lady that helped us Susan was very rude to my friend and I. She basically ruined my birthday month. She reprimanded us like we were school kids and she was the principal. I was preparing to shoot my wine tasting experience with my phone so she thought I was going to include her. She could’ve spoken to us nicely.

    We enjoyed the wine tasting together with a cheese platter. The selection of cheese and bread was rich and tasteful.
