a wine farm out of the ordinary
The majestic Franschhoek mountains surround the garden of the historical Cape Dutch wine
farm Babylonstoren. The setting simply takes your breath away and when walking through the
vast terracotta-soiled grounds you realise this is out of the ordinary. In the garden they grow
vegetables, fruits, grape wine, olives and herbs, all served in the restaurant as fresh farm-to-fork
dishes that taste beyond your imagination. When working in South Africa this place is always on
my must go-to list – one day I hope to have the possibility to spend a night in the farm hotel or
stay longer in the healing garden with the best of zen feeling.
