Pack your bags, pop on your sunnies and get ready for a fab time at these 7 wine farms in the Western Cape:
- Babylonstoren:
One of the most raved-about wine escapes – and for good reason – a trip to Babylonstoren is a must in our books.

If you haven’t done the Franschhoek Wine Tram, then book your tickets…now! While you are visiting the stunning town, make sure to pop into Franschhoek Cellar, where the gorgeous scenery and exquisite wines will make you want to stay for a while. Known for its sparkling wines, the estate also offers gourmet dining experiences that promise a grandeur of entertainment. The art and sculpture garden is an added delight for visitors.
