Babylonstoren Wine Estate

Babylonstoren dates back to 1692, but its age is only part of what makes the estate interesting today.

The modern project was developed by Karen Roos and Koos Bekker, who turned the historic farm into a working estate with a hotel, winery, restaurants, and food production. At the centre of it all is the edible garden.

The garden was conceived as a contemporary interpretation of the Company’s Garden, where provisions were once grown for ships travelling between Europe and Asia. Today, Babylonstoren grows more than 300 edible species, and the garden works as a real source of ingredients rather than decorative landscaping.

That is what makes the estate worth exploring as a whole. The garden, winery, bakery, cheesemaking, butchery, and restaurants all belong to the same working system.

In short: 🌿 300+ edible species · 🍷 Winery · 🥖 Bakery · 🧀 Cheesemaking · 🥩 In-house production · 🏛️ History since 1692 · 🍽️ Several restaurants
