No festive plans? No problem. Escape the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and immerse yourself in a world of fresh flavours, soulful music, and magical performances at Spier Wine Farm this festive season. With an array of events and experiences on offer, Spier promises a celebration that will delight the whole family.
A Summer Dream
Kicking off the festive season is the return of the enchanting ‘A Summer Dream’ from 13-15 December 2024. This family-friendly, open-air spectacle, set against the backdrop of Spier’s natural beauty, weaves a tale of light and hope. Produced by Third World Bunfight and featuring the haunting melodies of Cape Town’s own Jak Tomas, the performance brings together dancers, clowns, actors, and musicians for an unforgettable evening that will captivate family members of all ages.
“Art, like food and wine, is best shared”, says Annebelle Schreuders Spier Hospitality Managing Director. “We’re thrilled to once again host ’A Summer Dream’, which perfectly embodies our commitment to supporting and showcasing African artists.”
Festive beats on the Werf
As the holiday season heats up, so does the music scene at Spier. Every Friday and Saturday evening from 20 December to 11 January, the talented Mapumba Cilombo will set the mood with his unique blend of folk melodies and Afropop. These free events on the Werf provide the perfect soundtrack for pleasant summer evenings with friends and family.
To complement the music, guests can pre-book the flagship Spier Summer Picnic, enjoy a Farmer Angus burger at Bubbles and Braai, grab a pizza to-go from Vadas Smokehouse and Bakery, or create their own al fresco feast with goodies from the Picnickery, open until 20:00.
Gourmet festive picnic
For those looking to avoid kitchen stress on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Spier offers a gourmet festive picnic that brings together the best of the farm’s produce. At R995 per person, the picnic features a mouth-watering spread, including rolled ham hock terrine, rotisserie chicken, braaied leg of lamb, and a decadent drunken cherry and chocolate trifle.
“Our festive picnic is a celebration of Spier’s farm-to-table philosophy”, explains Hennie Nel, Spier’s Picnic Chef. “Every dish showcases the incredible produce from our food garden and local suppliers.”
Whether you’re looking for a magical evening of performance, a laid-back picnic, or a unique shopping experience, we offer something for everyone this festive season.
Tickets are available on Webtickets.
