The artistic Spier winery is located close to the South African town of Stellenbosch. The history of this beautiful and sprawling winery dates back to as early as 1692, which makes it one of the most ancient wineries in South Africa. The winery is a wonderful spot to enjoy a picnic with your family and friends because it is not just filled with wine-producing areas, but also contains a hotel, restaurant, exhibition, art gallery and a family farm to provide you enough entertainment for the day.

The beauty of this winery is that the wines are created here with excellent precision, without causing any disturbance to the environment. Cellar Master Frances Smit joined the winery in 1996 and he is one of the major reasons for the transformation of this small Stellebosch unit into one of the award-winning, reputed wineries that it is today.
