Babylonstoren garden tours
In the Babylonstoren vegetable garden, it’s time for hardy plants like kale, leeks and celeriac to thrive. If you’re a keen gardener wondering what to plant in the cooler months, opt for leafy greens and brassicas like cabbage, broccoli and romanesco. You can also join one of Babylonstoren’s garden walks this winter to learn how their gardeners make the most of the slower season.

Celebrate citrus season at Babylonstoren
In the cooler months, a welcome flush of zesty citrus adorns Babylonstoren’s garden and orchards. The first sweet taste of the season comes in the form of Nules naartjies, while freshly harvested Eureka and Lisbon lemons bring a tart addition and healthy dose of vitamin C to our restaurants and produce selection. In the coming months they look forward to Valencia and bitter Seville oranges, citron, kumquats, limes, blood oranges and more.
New olives to love at Babylonstoren
Farmer Ian and his team are still harvesting olives for pressing and preserving in the cellar – Babylonstoren’s “golden season”. Coratina olives are ripe for the picking and will be transformed into their single variety extra virgin olive oil.
They are also welcoming the newest addition to their range of table olives, the Noceralla & Herb Olive Tin, which we’ve paired with Kapokbos or wild rosemary. The Kapokbos is a bold match for another of their farm-grown stalwarts, crisp green Nocellara olives. This Sicilian cultivar has a slightly nutty flavour that pairs well with the woody notes of the Eriocephalus africanus.
