Love the taste of culinary herbs at Soetmelksvlei

Only 10 spaces available

Have your tastebuds tantalised and green fingers inspired as we explore the wide range of tastes and textures found in a bunch of green leaves. Herbs express their unique uses in their distinct taste – some bitter, some sweet, some pungent and some peppery.

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. We’ll kick off the workshop in the Soetmelksvlei heritage garden with guidance from food historian, Hetta van Deventer-Terblanche.

Here, we’ll gather some herbs from the garden to chop and pound in the kitchen and incorporate these into fresh and seasonal treats to enjoy. Remember to bring along a hat for a fun day in the garden.

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.
