If you’re still cautious about interprovincial travel due to the pandemic, then Cape Town residents can plan their Easter weekend at Spier, of course if your visiting, you’re welcome too.
From Easter egg hunts for the kids and family picnics to chocolate tasting and pop-up braais, Spier has a variety of exciting offerings for patrons over the long deserved break.
Enjoy these 5 festive feasts this Easter:
A leisurely Easter Sunday feast
Families can enjoy a freshly prepared three-course lunch on the terrace, while the Supernova band and the tinkling Eerste River serenade them. Meals begin with gourmet salads and freshly baked bread before an array of glorious mains.
These include slow-braised brisket, roasted leg of lamb, smoked ocean trout, a cheesy butternut pasta bake, bacon-flecked charred broccoli and aubergine & tomato melanzane, while the Spier wine tasting station keeps adults hydrated.
Braai-time
From Good Friday, April 2 through Easter Sunday, April 4 from 11am to 4pm, a pop-up braai station on the Spier Werf will offer delicious lamb tacos, pickled fish tortillas and curried sosaties. Enjoy them under this historic farmyard’s ancient oaks.
For the kids
From Good Friday, April 2 through Family Day, April 5 April, kids can make their own rabbit ears and a basket for collecting Easter eggs. The one hour workshop starts at 9.30am and costs just R100 per child.
Head to the Tasting Room
