in the heart the famous Cape Winelands, is more than a hotel. It
is a destination in itself. The first luxury hotel in South Africa
to be Fair Trade in Tourism certified, Spier offers visitors a

activities - in beautiful surroundings.
With
its historic Cape Dutch homestead linking it to a fascinating
past, Spier stands on the banks of the Eerste River, near the
historic town of Stellenbosch and is just 20 minutes drive from
Cape Town International Airport.
Spier’s
focus is on sustainability and on being a centre of leisure and
culture. It is also pioneering social and ecological programmes to
help eliminate poverty, protect the environment and ensure a
sustainable future for the local community. Spier aims to embody
the vibrancy, energy and heritage of the African continent.
Visitors

fine wine. At the Spier Wine Centre one can find the award winning
Spier wine ranges and educational wine experiences provide
