Learn the incredible art of making your own soft cheese, butter and yoghurt from scratch at this hands-on, farm-to-table workshop on Soetmelksvlei.

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, cheesemaker Alta Eybers will guide you through the art of creating magic with milk. We’ll start with the milking of the cow, then separating whole milk and using the bounty to create handmade butter, soft cheese and yoghurt.

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.
