Spier Winery

On Saturday we visited the Spier Wine estate. There was a wedding just finishing up when we got there. On one end of the estate they have cheetahs. Until last week they had baby cheetahs to pet but they grew up and were no longer there. They also have a restaurants that serves food from the spire garden and farm - everything on the menu is produced on site. We had a five wine tasting. Three wines were a series of blends, 2, 3 and 5 grape blends, and the other two were part of the 21 gables selection. Spire has more gables on the grounds than any other winery in the area. Dona bought three bottles and Dawn bought some champagne. Hopefully our suitcases aren't over weight! With the wine we had a food tasting. It included olives, meats, cheeses, a pickled spread, squash and chocolate. Delicious!


My recommendation for next year, make a reservation. They almost turned us away because they had so many group reservations and didn't think they could accommodate our group size.
