Located in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands and only about 20min from Cape Town, the Spier Village and Wine Estate is not just a normal wine estate - the so-called "Spier Experience" combines wine, food, art, culture, nature and, of course, conservation. Guest visiting Spier can lounge on the lawns on the banks of the Eerste River with a picnic, or visit their innovative farm-to-table restaurant Eight. One can taste Spier's award-winning wine paired with delectable treats, or enjoy the welcoming comfort of their spacious, village-style hotel. If you are coming to Cape Town, rent a car, drive to Stellenbosch! and visit Spier, one of South Africa's oldest and most unique wine estates!

Great promo video - Waterkloof Wines (Somerset West)
Although the following video is actually promo video about Waterkloof Wines in Somerset West, it has a certain documentary-style and is definitely worth watching it.
Waterkloof Wines, located off the Sir Lowry’s Pass Road, is not a conventional wine estate. Their approach is to cultivate the berries and produce the wine in a as natural way as possible by using bio-dynamic & sustainable farming, minimal intervention and a traditional approach to wine making. They somehow carried the concept of "slow food" over to "wine making" and created their own concept of "slow wine".
Talking about "slow food" - you should also visit the Waterkloof Restaurant which is definitely worth a visit and, of course, a try. It is a bit upmarket, but if you can afford it, have a meal there. Anyway, enjoy the 8min film!
