farm fresh

While at Spier Winery we dined at their restaurant 8. We had tried to go for lunch on Saturday but they had closed early. After the guy telling us that every vegetable, herb and meat came directly from their farm we were determined to eat there on Sunday and waited for about an hour to snag a table.


It was a delicious little Sunday dinner.


Fresh bread and olive oil (loved this plating!)…

A gift from the chef- sweet pumpkin soup…

Chicken pie with puff pastry (think chicken and dumpling with no dumplings)…

Of course we had already done a tasting at the winery and were able to choose two perfect pairings-chenin blanc for me and a gamay rose for the wife…


we love the pours in south africa!


We used her head as a reference as to how big these pours were. Huge.
