Babylonstoren, Cape Winelands, South Africa – A beautiful Healing Garden  at Babylonstoren includes a range of medicinal plant species – some more powerful, aromatic, rare or even dangerous than others, but all with an interesting story worth discovering. Guests are invited to enjoy this Healing Garden as a quiet space, where one can slow down and blend herbal teas as guided by gardener Gundula. 

La Residence, Cape Winelands, South Africa – At the Chef's Table in the Great Hall guests enjoy a completely interactive evening with a celebrated chef. The experience begins with a stroll through the gardens, where guests select the ingredients for their feast. In the summer months, the abundance of black figs, ripe pomegranates, juicy plums, green artichokes and fragrant herbs will leave guests spoiled for choice. A four-course meal is then interactively prepared and enjoyed.

The Saxon Hotel & Spa, Johannesburg, South Africa – The Saxon's culinary philosophy is to use only the freshest, most flavorful seasonal ingredients of known origin. Sarapana, the Saxon's extensive rooftop garden, is a hidden treasure that serves as a constant source of inspiration for the Saxon Chefs in creating innovative dishes. At sunrise the Chefs visit the vegetable garden to tend it and handpick the day's ingredients, which inspire the Saxon's seasonal menus.
