Spier Wine Farm

The documented history of Spier begins in 1692.

The first vines were planted that same year, with wine production beginning around 1700.

But the most interesting part of Spier today is not simply its age.

The farm has deliberately built much of its modern identity around regenerative agriculture, including soil restoration, organic compost, managed grazing and water reuse.

The idea is not only to preserve an old wine estate, but to reconsider how the land itself should work in the future.

Spier also has a long connection with contemporary South African art, through both its collection and projects supporting artists.

That creates an unusual combination for a historic estate: a strong awareness of the past alongside a very practical attempt to rethink what the farm becomes next.
