Nestled in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands, just a short drive from Cape Town, Spier Wine Estate is more than just a historic vineyard—it's a vibrant hub of creativity, community, and culture. While Spier is renowned for its award-winning wines and scenic beauty, one of its hidden gems is the lively craft market that brings local artistry to life.

Set under shady trees near the estate’s Werf area, the Spier craft market offers a curated collection of handmade goods by local artisans. Visitors can browse stalls filled with unique, ethically produced items — from handwoven textiles and intricate beadwork to ceramics, woodwork, leather goods, and traditional African art.

The market is a celebration of South African craftsmanship and heritage. Each item tells a story, and many of the creators are on hand to share their techniques and inspirations. It's not just a shopping experience — it's a chance to connect with the makers behind the work, and to take home something truly authentic.

While exploring the market, guests can also enjoy wine tastings, farm-to-table food, and the laid-back charm that Spier is known for. Families are welcome, with plenty of space for kids to play and activities for all ages.

Whether you're looking for a special keepsake, a unique gift, or simply want to enjoy the creative energy of the Cape, the craft market at Spier Wine Estate is a must-visit experience.
