Indulge in the season of figs at this hands-on workshop where we’ll learn various baking techniques with figs.

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 making a moreish masterpiece.
