Spier Wine Harvest Festival

Join the happy throng of purple-footed grape-stompers, families and wine lovers to bless the harvest this February

Held in celebration of the annual grape harvest, the festivities will include games for children, fine wine and fabulous harvest foods.

The Spier lawns will be transformed into a wine wonderland; featuring wine tastings and scrumptious specialty foods.

Spier hosts their annual Spier Wine Harvest Festival to celebrate and bless the grape harvest.

The lawns in front of Eight - Spier’s new ‘farm-to-table’ restaurant - will be transformed into a wine wonderland. Adults can lounge under the trees and enjoy great food and wine, while children join in a host of interactive games.

Wine tastings and scrumptious specialty food stalls will combine to create the ultimate wine picnic. This can be enjoyed either on the lawn or around the harvest table alongside the Eerste River.

Games for all include grape stomping, croquet, and boulle. For kids there will be T-shirt and face painting, tractor rides to the vineyards, storytelling, magicians, an obstacle course and much much more.

At 12h00, Spier’s Cellar Master Frans Smit will bless the harvest in the traditional way. Frans and the ‘lady of the harvest’ will symbolically cut the last bunch of grapes, giving thanks for nature’s bounty. Gerald Clarke and his band will entertain with guitars, cellos, accordions and singers.

Need to know more? Tickets are R50p/p and can be purchased at Spier on arrival. For adults, this includes a tasting of two of Spier’s award-winning wines and a special edition wine glass. For kids this includes entrance for five games.
