Distillation: make your own mampoer!

Only 10 places available.

Join us for a distillation workshop at Soetmelksvlei, a delightful new excursion by Babylonstoren.

Prepare to roll up your sleeves as we embark on our journey at the Babylonstoren ticket office. Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical farmyard, which represents a time when life was simpler and craftsmanship was treasured.

Here, our distillation expert Marten van Staden will instruct you in the art of making mampoer or witblits. In this workshop you will be guided through the process of distilling fermented fruits, which includes the tasting and blending of a finished product, ready for drinking.

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