Winter at Spier Wine Farm moves to its own rhythm – quieter, more reflective, yet just as beautiful. We take our cue from the vines: as they rest, we embrace the season to pause, rejuvenate and reconnect.
Here are six experiences to enjoy, come rain or shine, on the farm this winter:
Wine and soup tasting
Step in from the cold and discover our new seasonal wine and soup pairing at our tasting room, available from 1 May to 30 September 2025. This cosy tasting features three hearty, farm-fresh soups paired with award-winning wines that complement every warming spoonful.
R180 per person at the Spier Tasting Room. Reservations essential.
