The only place for a full-on South African wine and gastronomic experience, combined with an amazing cultural and natural environment backdrop.
The Spier Estate has everything you want, from interesting wine tasting sessions, to amazing restaurants (there are about five on site), picnics combined with music concerts in the open against the wonderful mountainous backdrop of the Cape’s famous mountains and next to a river. The hotel was one of the best we ever stayed in in the whole world. And it is all Fair Trade in Tourism certified, as well as certified by the Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association.
Prices and packages to suit all budgets and tastes. It was an absolutely amazing experience and we wished we could have stayed longer … or forever.

The Black Horse is situated next to the Grand Union Canal and within easy walking distance of the Nags Head. Along the way you will see a stone circle, the Artwoks project complex, the great Linford Manor and Rectory, the historic village and the narrow boats on the Grand Union Canal. It is all situated in a lovely park setting. The Black Horse has geat food at reasonble prices and the Nags Head won local pub of the year. The best of both worlds and lots more. We are not just about roundabouts and concrete cows.
On the Newport Pagnell road between Wolverton and Newport Pagnell just next to the Grand Union canal.
