Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

There is a lot to see and do, from the village-style hotel and spa to the organic vegetable farm that provides wholesome food for our restaurants, picnics, and decadent wine tastings. It becomes obvious why Spier is the place to be this summer - or any time of the year - when you consider the variety of activities available, such as Eagle Encounters, Segway Vineyard Tours, and our free Kids' Clubhouse for hotel guests.

Clear your schedule and take a day trip to Tokara if you enjoy delicious meals, fine wine, and breathtaking scenery. Our vineyard and olive grove, which are perched on the upper slopes of the Simonsberg mountain, provide a stunning view of False Bay and Table Mountain, two of mother nature's most breathtaking creations.
The temperature, topography, and soils in our particular area work together to create the best grapes. These grapes are then carefully harvested by hand and sent to our cutting-edge winery, where they are turned into Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc wines that have won numerous awards.
But the tasting will prove it. Come and see for yourself, then. We are eager to welcome you.
