Spier’s fun festive workshops for kids & adults
Spier’s fun festive workshops to delight children and adults alike
Ever wanted to learn how to make your own wreath, greeting cards, mosaic or upcycled tree decorations? Want to serve a winning punch, sublime sauces or be able to create your very own delicious flavoured salts and oils for the kitchen? Discover the secrets to all this, and much more, at Spier this festive season. From 17 to 21 December 2019, the historic Stellenbosch wine farm will be hosting daily afternoon workshops for adults where you’ll learn about everything you need to make sure this festive season is stylishly personalised.
With boredom-busting workshops for kids under 12, there’s no need for the little ones to feel left out, either! These start daily at 10:00am over the same period. While the kids unleash their creativity in a safely supervised setting, parents are invited to sample Spier’s acclaimed vintages on the Tasting Room’s shady stoep or stock up on stocking-fillers at the adjoining gift shop.
Adult workshops cost R170; children’s workshops cost R120. Book on www.spier.co.za/events
