Had an amazing day at Babylonstoren Wine Estate. Wine was great, food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our sweet waitress Ms. Marshleen and her colleagues made our day so enjoyable. Will definitely come back and I highly recommend this wine estate and their restaurant to anyone interested in visiting a wine estate here in South Africa.
Enjoyed the experience, but charging 20R just to stop off the tram is ridiculous, seeing how many give discounts for those on the tram. They also don't give new glasses between tastings other than white and reds. The wines were just okay, but the food platter was delicious.
This is what heaven must look like. Everything is special. The restaurant food is prepared with a lot of effort. I suggest you do the 7 glass wine tasting and splash out on one of the platters. The wine is all close to 5 star quality.
Babylonstoren is a true gem that captivates from the moment you arrive. The site of vintage Land Rovers in vine-covered parking spaces set the tone for a special experience. The Cape Dutch architecture against breathtaking scenery and impeccably maintained gardens create an atmosphere steeped in history and a profound connection to the earth. The unique aspect of picking and consuming ripe food adds a delightful touch to the visit. The 10:00 walking tour is informative. Our guide did a great job. We saw a rare citing from the owner who I would describe as an absolute G. Culminating in a delicious garden-inspired lunch, Babylonstoren is a sensory delight that seamlessly blends history, nature, and culinary excellence. Be sure to tip your tour guide, if doing the walking tour, and purchase some goodies from the farm shop.
Such a beautiful wine estate - even the car park was beautiful, with vines creatively used to provide shade to cars. We visited on a very hot day so unfortunately couldn’t spend as long as we’d liked exploring the grounds. The map provided was useful and whilst I downloaded the app I didn’t end up using it. We had lunch at Babel and also stopped for gelato after and tried the buffalo milk gelato which was delicious!
It's one of the best wine farms in South Africa!
The style of the garden the concept is unbeatable! The food in the different restaurants is organic well presented and prepared with love! The shops products are well-designed

Five stars for the huge variety of activities and natural beauty available in this estate.
We came as part of the wine tram and stayed for 2 hours.
In that time we explored the shop and factory where they make various soaps and essential oils.
Their wine museum which is extensive and you could easily spend a day in if you did the full audio tour.
The tasting room where we enjoyed some tasty wines. I will say they were not the best wines we sampled with the wine tram but the
tasting room was beautiful and had a lively atmosphere.
Their incredibly beautiful gardens which we did not have enough time to explore.
I would definitely recommend this estate especially if you can take a longer time and pre book some activities like the garden tour.
There is a lot more than just wine to Babylonstoren.
