The Spier Elemental Garden is just a stone’s throw from Spier Farm Café and Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery – both much loved by families. It was conceptualised by landscape architect Ed Brooks and local landscape architect Danielle Croly, using mostly indigenous plants.
The garden is divided into quadrants representing the four elements: water, air, fire and earth. Intersecting all four is a spiralling waterway that symbolises the Fibonacci Sequence – a set of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Many patterns in nature follow this rule — such as the spiral shape of a seashell, the arrangement of leaves on a branch, or the petals of some flowers (such as daisies and sunflowers).
Features of the garden include a slide landscaped into earth mounds, a tunnel to crawl through, a Charl Conradie wind sculpture and a swing bridge. The water in the Water quadrant has been treated and is safe to splash about in – perfect for hot summer days.
The Elemental Garden is open daily until sunset; entry is complimentary.
Visit the Spier vineyards on the Segway PT (Personal Transporter), a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle. The tour combines a beautiful glide through the farm with interesting insights about Spier’s ethical approach to farming and the environment.
Spier has two audio tours you can listen to on your smartphone using the VoiceMap app (available on Google Play and the App Store):
· The Gables tour takes you around Spier’s historic farmyard, the Werf, offering a fictionalised account of the world of a Stellenbosch wine farm around 200 years ago. It was researched and written by acclaimed playwright, Brett Bailey. The narrator is Sannie de Goede, a slave woman on the Spier Estate in 1836, on the eve of her freedom.
· The hour-long Walk the Spier Farm tour will introduce you to the farm’s many facets: from art and wines to hospitality and heritage. You’ll also discover our efforts to forge a sustainable future, through biodynamic farming, the rehabilitation of fragile indigenous ecosystems and our eco-friendly wastewater plant and water-wise winery.
Discover the farm for free, using one of the Qhubeka Buffalo Bicycles located at the Spier Hotel entrance. These are sturdy and strong machines, designed for rough African terrain (and prove more than a match for our farm roads). Designed by Chicago-based World Bicycle Relief and assembled in South Africa, these bikes were named by the BBC as one of the 10 most beautiful bikes in the world.
Eminent landscape architect Patrick Watson and horticulturalist Wilton Sikhosana helped establish this beautiful walk. Situated on the South bank of the Eerste River, this walk offers an opportunity to explore the large variety indigenous plants growing on the farm.
Art is as much part of Spier as good food and fine wine. Spier believes that the visual arts are a powerful tool for transformation – sparking new insights and inspiring us to engage with our world in new and imaginative ways. Spier supports and stimulates the arts community in South Africa through projects that honour our African arts heritage and enriches its future.
Sculptures and artworks from the Spier Art Collection – one of the largest contemporary art collections in the country – can be found throughout the farm. Works are rotated every year to give exposure to as many artists as possible, and to keep the spaces fresh for staff and visitors. The art chosen for display aims to show the richness and diversity of the SA experience and artistic talent.
Healing and balance are the essence of the Spier experience, with a world-class winelands spa and wellness centre alongside our Cape Herbal Bath House, set in their wild Cape fynbos garden. The hotel spa is a natural sanctuary in the quiet heart of Spier hotel, where they use healing botanicals from the Cape Floral Kingdom - wild-harvested on the farm - as well as Vine Therapy herbal products, made by Spier exclusively for Spier. The wellness block has several treatment rooms, a mani-pedi lounge, sauna and steam room, a movement studio and gym
The Buzz Club is the in-house guest-exclusive kids club at Spier, holding a gentle space for 3- to 8-year-olds to experience the rhythms of farm life. Guides and carers lead seasonally relevant open-ended play and structured activities like collage-making, flower threading, bug spotting, leaf pressing and making art with found materials - so kids can get happily and safely immersed in nature.The Elemental Play Garden and open lawns on the Werf are also breezy, child-friendly places for playing the day away.
Inspired by our wild Cape gardens, the Garden Room offers comfort food that is simple, honest and sophisticated. Honouring Cape heritage cooking, the menu celebrates seasonal produce harvested from our farm and sourced from trusted local growers who share our commitment to regenerative farming. Breakfast in the Garden Room is exclusive to Hotel guests.
Good food, good company and our time-crafted wines are brought to life at Veld. Rooted in the rhythms of the earth, our menu follows the seasons, with ingredients grown in our gardens, raised on our pastures, and sourced from local farmers who share our love for nutrient-rich produce. Dishes are generous, nourishing and full of integrity – respectful of South African flavours and the ingredients that make them shine.
The adjacent Wine Library invites you to explore Spier’s rich and awarded winemaking legacy, with perfect pairings part of the dining ritual.

Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery offers dishes that embrace and showcase the quality of ethically and locally sourced ingredients. A passion for cooking with fire and smoke takes centre stage with a delicious range of pasture-reared meats (many of which are supplied by Spier’s Farmer Angus). The meat is smoked low and slow – at a low temperature for a long period of time – and this method allows lesser-known cuts of meat like beef brisket, pork neck and lamb shoulder to be used. There are delicious organic vegetarian options too.
The restaurant overlooks the rolling lawns and ancient oaks of Spier’s meticulously restored Werf – perfect for the kids to run wild on. Sharing is encouraged, with family-style platters that can be ordered for the table.
The bakery produces slow-fermented, fresh sourdough breads as well as a selection of seasonal fruit pies and pastries baked daily.
Opening hours: Vadas’s kitchen is open daily. Opening hours vary – please contact 021 8091137 or visit www.vadas.co.za to book.
