Wince Centre

Showcasing more than 200 local and international estates, the Spier Wine Centre is a haven for wine-lovers. On the grounds of the main estate and housed in a gabled barn dating back to 1856, the cosy Cape Dutch architecture lures visitors into the treasures of this cellar. There are delicate whites, rich reds, premium Cape rarities, collectors' labels, superior sherries, rare vintages, and, of course, Spier's very own range of wines, the Spier Range and the Spier Private Range. Grown at the nearby Spier Home Farms, the wines include an award winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Formal and private tastings take place daily on the hour between 10am. and 4pm. at R12 per person. Tastings can be conducted in seven European languages, although tastings in a foreign language should be booked 48-hours in advance. Visitors are invited to sample Spier's own house wine and savour some of the world's best wines under one roof. The centre offers a wide range of wine accessories; wine specialists are always on hand to advise, and an efficient and speedy delivery service is available for overseas buyers.

On the south bank of the Estate, on the Annandale Road, the recently opened Spier Cellars is home to the recently launched Spier range of wine, the House Wine of Spier.
