Eagle Encounters

Eagle Encounters is a raptor rehabilitation, conservation, and education center at Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch. Visitors can see rescued eagles, owls, hawks, and vultures up close, learn about their ecology, and watch scheduled flying demonstrations. Hands-on, supervised interactions highlight responsible wildlife care and the challenges raptors face. The site appeals to families, photographers, and nature enthusiasts seeking an ethical, educational experience within a working wine estate. Proceeds support rescue and release programs, and visits typically take 1–2 hours. Combine with wine tasting, farm walks, or picnics nearby for a balanced day in the winelands.
