The Spier Hotel

Village-style buildings, lush green lawns and spacious rooms situated next to the Eerste River are the defining characteristics of the 4 star hotel. 153 rooms are clustered around six courtyards, each with its own swimming pool.

The hotel’s décor features a sophisticated, vibrant style with strong colours, patterns and textures, and a collection of art that explores contemporary South African culture.

Spier’s winery has won multiple awards in recent years, including Producer of the Year (Mundus Vini, Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show 2011). Spier also performed  well at the 2011 International Wine and Spirits Competition (five Best in Class Gold medals and two trophies), and was the top performing winery at Veritas (2009 and 2010).

The hotel is a pioneer in responsible tourism and was one of the first in South Africa to be awarded the Fair Trade in Tourism SA accreditation in 2004 and  recently won a Gold at the Virgin Holidays Partners in Sustainability Award.

Eight Restaurant

Eight is Spier’s acclaimed farm-to-table eating experience. Like its name, the restaurant is an expression of balance, cycles, harmony, infinity and abundance. Eight is as much about the food itself – the raw ingredients – as it is about the ways these are combined to create an exciting menu. In order to offer a farm-to-table experience, the mandate for the chefs at Eight is to source produce that is, wherever possible, local, natural and organic.
