Spier of course is a famous destination and a must see! The birds of prey and the big cats add a extra touch and it was interesting to see the whole estate. The only draw back is that it is very "touristy" and aimed at foreigners, so if you are looking for a authentic winelands experience it isn't the place... More

If you get stuck with Mass tourism and lots of people, then avoid this, but catch Spier on a weekday, or out of season, and its a gem, from cheetah and birds of prey projects, to the african themed Moyo, to the newly renovated deli and picnic area, and the market stalls and strolls along the river banks, ITS a...

A magical place and very beautiful. Amazing views and beautiful vineyards. The wine tasted delicious. There is also a cheetah reserve, you should visit. Awesome experience.

My wife and I stayed at Spier for a week in connection with a business meeting. While the grounds, attractions, food and personnel were very good, our room and others were stuck in a time warp centered on the 1960s. Bare concrete floors, no wall decorations, noisy air conditioner, antique lighting, inoperative fireplace, moldy shower, occasional sewer odor and "rustic"... More

A great winery to visit with children: there is about as much for them there as for their wine-sipping parents: a nice playground, a practical lesson in pottery-making, and a (pricey) chance to pet cheetahs, or handle predatory birds. Very nice layout of the entire place, you won't feel crowded. You can buy nice (somewhat pricey) picnic basket in the... More
