Harness the abundance of Babylonstoren’s fragrant fields in this essential oil masterclass. Presented by Gundula Deutschländer & Gavin Hendriks.

Pack your hat and a pair of sturdy shoes as you’ll be exploring beyond the garden to find aromatics and our special Cape chamomile, Eriocephalus punctulatus. This indigenous shrub flowers in early spring, and this is the perfect time to extract its azure blue oil. In the Scented Room, guests will be able to see the steam-distilling process that captures the natural essence of the plant. Guided by Babylonstoren’s in-house compounder, Gavin Hendriks, you’ll be able to create your own body products to take home, using a selection of our essential oils.

Steaming coffee from the Lekker Room is served upon arrival.

Lunch in the Tasting Room is included.
