Spier wine farm’s annual festive-season outdoor spectacle, A Summer Dream, returns from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 December for a magical family-friendly experience.

This enchanting performance follows a band of whimsical characters as they discover the power of imagination in a surreal, dreamlike world – an evening designed to delight audiences aged one to 100.

Now in its fourth year and again directed by Brett Bailey, A Summer Dream moves to the amphitheatre venue for the first time.

Dream world

Set to an original score by Cape Town composer Jak Tomas, it features a troupe of masked dancers, actors and musicians alongside moths, sheep, alligators, unicorns and the occasional human being.

A Summer Dream brings together dancers, musicians and actors in a captivating outdoor performance produced by Third World Bunfight.

“It’s like being inside a music video about a dream,” says Bailey, “or a dream about a music video, under the stars, with an incredible soundtrack.”

The hour-long production perfectly pairs performance with acclaimed wines and seasonal farm-to-table fare.

Dining options

The evening begins on the Werf at 18:00 with al fresco dining options ranging from farm picnics to braaied burgers, before audiences take a short walk to the amphitheatre for the 19:30 performance.

Tickets range from R70 to R500 at Webtickets.

Location: Spier Wine Farm is off the R310, Baden Powell Drive, Stellenbosch.
