Cape Town Wine Tour: 3 Wineries — Babylonstoren, Fairview & Spier

The tasting room consists of 4 unique, barrel-shaped ‘pods’ that facilitate a welcoming and more social tasting. Their custom-designed pods offer a tasting selection of 6 different wines with dedicated hosts to guide and assist guests. They are committed to ensuring that they always have a diverse range of wines available for their visitors to choose from, including a selection of wines exclusive to their cellar door. Your tasting also includes an expertly paired selection of 6 Fairview cow and goat’s milk cheeses.

Babylonstoren is one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, set at the foot of Simonsberg in the Franschhoek wine valley. It has a fruit and vegetable garden of beauty and diversity, fine food and wine, and evokes a sense of wellbeing.

Spier was voted one of the 100 World's Best Vineyards in 2021, and Editor's Choice - Winery of the Year 2022. They offer wine tasting and food platters overlooking their dam and with views of the Helderberg mountains. Settle in and admire the iconic Heath Nash chandelier - made from 334 recycled Spier wine bottles and weighing 370kgs - which hangs above the tasting counter. You can enjoy a set wine tasting with or without a food pairing, or order whatever you like with an olive, cheese or cured meat board.
