Babylonstoren continues to evolve, surprise and delight, here is the latest news from the Farm.
The Wine Museum @ Babylonstoren
New: The Story of Wine
Hotel guests have an exclusive invite to sample 9 different wines in the beautiful Farm Cellar, accompanied by an expert and delicious canapes. Whilst there, they can visit the latest addition, The Wine Museum. A tale as old as time, told in vivid sensory detail, the space is a celebration of man’s ingenuity and the earth’s generosity and the cultural events that have shaped the Farm’s collective wine-making and drinking heritage. It details the origins, cultivation and culture behind mankind’s love affair with wine, while encouraging a contemporary narrative of its age-old traditions and social gravitas.
