Our April cover depicts the restored Slave Bell at Spier Wine Farm, which was built by Van der Byl in 1825. Spier is one of the oldest wine farms in South Africa with a recorded history dating back to 1692. Besides its historical significance and award winning wines, there is so much more to experience at Spier. In this edition, we review Spier's Conference and Event facilities (see pages 16-18). As usual, our content is free to distribute and I encourage you to share and comment on articles published on our website - you may just win a Dietz Monarch Hurricane Lantern for taking the time to do so (see page 6 for more info).
