A magnificent Cape Dutch farm estate in the Franschhoek wine valley, celebrated for its extraordinary plant-based farm-to-table cuisine.
Babylonstoren is one of the oldest and most beautiful Cape Dutch farms in South Africa, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Simonsberg mountains in the Franschhoek wine valley. The estate's 3.5-hectare garden — one of the most celebrated in the world — supplies the farm's restaurants with an extraordinary abundance of organic produce.
The estate's culinary team has developed a fully plant-based menu that showcases the extraordinary diversity of the garden's harvest. From breakfast in the orchard to candlelit dinners in the historic barn, every meal is a celebration of South Africa's remarkable agricultural heritage.
Babylonstoren accommodates up to 180 guests for weddings and events, with 52 cottages and suites available for exclusive hire. The combination of world-class wine (all vegan-certified), extraordinary food, and breathtaking mountain scenery makes it one of Africa's most sought-after vegan venues.
"Babylonstoren is a place of extraordinary beauty and generosity. The garden, the food, the wine — everything is produced with such love and care. Our wedding was beyond perfect."
"The most beautiful farm in Africa, and the plant-based menu is genuinely world-class. The team made our celebration feel completely personal and utterly magical."
