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

This enchanting performance follows a band of whimsical characters as they discover the power of imagination in a surreal, dreamlike world \u2013 an evening designed to delight audiences aged one to 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in its fourth year and again directed by Brett Bailey, A Summer Dream<\/em> moves to the amphitheatre venue for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dream world <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“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.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hour-long production perfectly pairs performance with acclaimed wines and seasonal farm-to-table fare.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dining options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets range from R70 to R500 at Webtickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: Spier Wine Farm<\/a> is off the R310, Baden Powell Drive, Stellenbosch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
