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. Using time-honoured tools and techniques, you’ll forge your own hand-wrought soup ladle – a utensil that will stand the test of time. Plus you’ll head home with bragging rights.
A hearty lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant is included before guests return to Babylonstoren.
