>> Eden is Babylonstoren

Since it was Loeries weekend last weekend, Johan and I decided to make a small holiday of it while we were down
in the beautiful Cape. I can't go to the Western Cape and not want to move there afterwards! It just makes you
realise again that we really do live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, and that we are so lucky to
call this country our home.

On Tuesday we roadtripped to the Franschoek region, and stopped at Babylonstoren on our way to the guest house.
I've seen this farm feature on many blogs, and I've been wanting to go there for some time now. However, I think
that what I saw with my own eyes far exceeded my expectations of the place. I knew it was going to be beautiful,
but I didn't expect a place with such gorgeous traditional charm and a perfect modern polish. I was blown away by
the garden, and being a garden enthusiast, I couldn't wipe that fat smile off my face (it was not just a result of
all the wine I had tasted...).

We sat down for a light breakfast at the glasshouse restaurant. WOW. The food was perfect, delicious and so so fresh.
Babylonstoren is know for serving food straight out of their garden, and since guavas were is season, we had a guava
tart. I also had a beeeautiful "red" juice, with beetroot, apple and pear.

Even though Babylonstoren is famous for their beautiful garden, they also make amazing wine. After taking a slow
stroll through their garden and having a bite at one of their two restaurants, you can pop into the little farm shop.
At the shop they sell fresh baked organic bread, preserves, art, cookbooks, cheese and biltong.

I would recommend this place to anyone going to Franschoek. And as you can see by the amount of pictures I am posting...
I really really was blown away by all the prettiness! Enjoy!

How amazing is this kitchen!
