The eye-catching steel-and-glass creation is a modern link between the two Cape Dutch-style wings of the wine cellar and a perfect reflection of Babylonstoren’s philosophy of embracing both heritage and innovation. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls offer breathtaking views over the vineyards towards the small rocky koppie from which the farm derives its name, while indoors the striking central bar bedecked in vivid green tiles mirrors the lush vineyards beyond. A range of tantalising snack platters with charcuterie, cheese, pâté and fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden are on offer. The platters are an ideal light bite while tasting the Babylonstoren range of wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tasting Room is accessed via a maturation cellar revamped into a retail space, with exposed brick walls, lofty ceilings and a statuesque curving wall – a display of antique farming implements and packing crates creating a gentle farm motif in the triple-volume space. For guests with a little more time to spare, informative cellar tours offer an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at how the estate’s wines are crafted. The tour includes a walk through the vineyards and a visit to the olive oil production plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCome and unwind with us in this perfect spot for wine sipping and cheese nibbling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tasting Room is open daily – from 10h00 to 17h00 in winter and 10h00 to 18h00 in summer.\u003cbr\u003eDaily cellar tours start at the Tasting Room, every hour on the hour, from 11h00 to 15h00.\u003cbr\u003eBooking is advised for groups of 11 to 24 people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur wines are best exemplified by the Babylonstoren logo, which consists of the pipe (representing the farmer), the flower (representing the garden) and the bird (representing nature). It is a combination of the very essence of Babylonstoren – keeping things simple and as true to the earth as possible. \"It is this that we strive to achieve in our wine,\" says Charl Coetzee. \"Truth to the area we are situated in on the slopes of Simonsberg, and simplicity by making elegant and balanced wines as natural as possible.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44173466271803,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/24652charlwinemaker1jpg_22a67bc6-54b5-4493-ba04-d53500977f85.webp?v=1789153432","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-za\/products\/cellar-tour-wine-tasting-activity-24652-44986","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
