A visit to Babylonstoren is much more than a classic wine tasting – it’s a sensory experience in every way. Just about 45 minutes from our guesthouse “At Winkfield House“, nestled in the majestic mountains of the Drakenstein region, this historic wine estate blends 300 years of tradition with modern design, sustainable farming, and creative cuisine.
Babylonstoren is renowned for its magnificent gardens, among the oldest and most beautiful in South Africa, as well as for its award-winning wines, crafted with passion and great attention to detail.
Our recommendation:
- Stroll through the vibrant Babylonstoren gardens, which bloom all year round and supply the kitchen with fresh herbs, fruit, and vegetables.
- Enjoy a comprehensive wine tasting, focusing on their expressive red and white wines – especially recommended are the refined Cuvées and the crisp, elegant Chenin Blanc selection.
- Indulge in seasonal dishes at the farm-to-table restaurant Babel, where the ingredients go straight from the garden to your plate – a true celebration of regional flavors.
- For explorers, Babylonstoren also offers bike rides and guided walks across the expansive estate.
Babylonstoren is a place where nature, art, and winemaking exist in perfect harmony – a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience South Africa at its finest.
We would be happy to assist you with reservations or planning your visit.
Warm regards,
Your team at “At Winkfield House”
