Truffle, Tomato, and a Touch of Pinotage: Winter is Sorted with the Soup & Wine Pairing at Spier Wine Farm

Winter in the Cape means red wine, roaring fires, and yes—soup. And no one’s doing it better this season than Spier Wine Farm, where comfort food meets fine wine in the most delicious way.

From 1 May to 30 September 2025, Spier is offering a Soup & Wine Pairing that’s basically a warm hug in a glass and a bowl.

For just R180 per person, guests can cosy up in the Tasting Room and experience three thoughtfully crafted soups, each paired with one of Spier’s award-winning wines. It’s classy, it’s comforting, and it’s wildly satisfying.

Here’s what’s on the (very cosy) menu:

🥣 White Bean & Truffle Soup
Served with a garden mushroom toastie and paired with the bold and complex Creative Block 5 2021. Earthy, rich, and a little bit indulgent.

🍅 Charred Tomato Soup
Classic with a twist—paired with a parmesan toastie and the creamy, citrus-kissed Seaward Chardonnay 2024.

🎃 Pumpkin Velouté
Topped with goat’s cheese foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice. Matched with the powerful, fruit-forward 21 Gables Pinotage 2020. Autumn in a bowl.

🍫 Bonus treat: Because Spier knows how to end on a high note, there’s a surprise chocolate brownie waiting at the end.
