Bake your own: make butter & buttermilk scones

Only 10 spaces available

Butter was considered the golden commodity of the 1900s and today still, every knob is worth its weight in gold – and rightfully so! Join us on the historical farm of Soetmelksvlei to see how butter is made from scratch – from milking the cow to the separation of the cream and, finally, churning real farm butter.

Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical farmyard of Soetmelksvlei, which represents a time when life was simpler, and craftsmanship was treasured. Here, master baker Martjie Malan will teach you the art of handmade butter. With buttermilk as by-product, you’ll also learn to create the fluffiest scones.

After a hands-on morning in the farm air, we’ll enjoy a hearty lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant before heading back to Babylonstoren.
