flag Spier Wine Farm in South Africa reopens as a sustainable retreat with worker ownership, organic farming, and wine experiences.

flag Spier Wine Farm, a 300-year-old estate near Stellenbosch, South Africa, has reopened after a full renovation as a regenerative retreat focused on organic farming, community ownership, and sustainability. flag Former Goldman Sachs trader Angus McIntosh, inspired by Michael Pollan, transformed the 620-hectare property using biodynamic practices like mobile chicken coops and fynbos restoration. flag The 80-room village-style retreat, part of the UNESCO-listed Cape Floristic Region, features farm-to-table dining, wine tastings, and wellness experiences. flag Workers now own 85% of the business, and guests can enjoy day visits and four-course winemaker dinners for $74.
