A 2-minute drive outside Cape Town - by South African standards just like going to the butcher around the corner - Babylonstoren wine farm and guesthouse is not to be missed if you are in the area. The place, because that is what it is, a place, can be visited by everyone: you pay about XNUMX euros to enter the site and then it is a matter of parking and wandering through the beautiful gardens (through the vines), picnicking, preferably from what is for sale in the Babylonstoren store where everything from the own farm is sold: bread, meat, cheese, wine of course, but also sun hats, dresses and beauty products.

For a 'simple' drink, the Greenhouse is a great option - a, of course, beautiful greenhouse with seating all around. Perfect for with the mini. But foodies make sure they have made a reservation (even for lunch on weekends) at the Babel restaurant. Because man oh man, it is so good there!! Many salads that are not to be missed even for true carnivores, meat and fish, everything equally tasty and original.

And then there's the hotel. Oh the hotel. A collection of white houses, super luxuriously furnished. You don't really have to do more than get to and from the garden, the spa and the restaurant. Babylonstoren
