Nestled in the beautiful Franschhoek wine valley, this charming Cape Dutch farm is one of the oldest working farms in South Africa. Whether you are looking for a hands on experience in the garden, or to simply sip wine in their award-winning winery, there are plenty of activities to enjoy. Taste cold pressed olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the cellar, take a bike ride to explore the extensive grounds, row on the dam to observe the abundant bird life or indulge in a signature hammam water ritual at the spa. Kids will also enjoy feeding the donkeys, collecting hen’s eggs and harvesting fruit from the orchard. Guided by the seasonal ingredients grown in the gardens, Babylonstoren’s restaurants pride themselves on their farm-to-fork philosophy, serving dishes that pay homage to South Africa’s vibrant culinary history and incorporating the garden's bounty in every season. By day, enjoy choosing fresh produce and baked goods from the sumptuous farm shops to assemble your own picnic.
