Babylonstoren
Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical
Soetmelksvlei farmyard, which represents a time when life was simpler, and craftsmanship was treasured.
Here, you’ll join master butcher Jaco Koegelenberg and master charcutier Shelvin Jacobs in the Meat Room for a butchery masterclass. The team will demonstrate how to take apart and debone select pork cuts to use for making salami. The class focuses on a nose-to-tail approach, and we use the large intestine as an all-natural casing. Did you know, the use of natural sausage casing is an age-old skill used to create sausages and salami? This is still the option we prefer as it consists mainly of naturally occurring collagen.
After a hands-on morning, we’ll enjoy a hearty lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant before heading back to Babylonstoren.
The cost is R1 500 per person and only 10 places are available.
Please meet us at the Babylonstoren ticket office at 08h30.
Lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant is included.
