Babylonstoren

Situated at the foot of Simonsberg Mountain in the Franschhoek Valley, Babylonstoren is one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, dating back to 1692. Originally established to provide provisions for ships rounding the Cape, it has been beautifully transformed into a luxurious estate that seamlessly balances heritage with contemporary elegance. Its dramatic restoration includes whitewashed gables, rustic farmyards, and modern design elements.

Babylonstoren’s wines embody a deeply rooted philosophy of authenticity, crafted to reflect the Simonsberg terroir with elegant simplicity and balance. With around 94 hectares under vine across 13 varieties, their lineup includes distinctive labels such as Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Mourvèdre Rosé, Chardonnay, and celebrated blends like Babel Red and the flagship Nebukadnesar, alongside a refined Sprankel Méthode Cap Classique

Babylonstoren envelops guests in a profound sense of belonging. It isn’t merely a place to visit, it’s a destination that celebrates regenerative living, timeless beauty, and architectural storytelling.
