The Winter Feast is the ultimate opportunity for Joburgers to explore the award-winning wines of Babylonstoren right on our doorstep. This seasonal food and wine-tasting event in Johannesburg takes place daily from 6 to 8 June 2025 at Ground the Venue in Muldersdrift. Here’s what you need to know.
What to expect at The Winter Feast
Joburg’s passionate food and wine lovers come together for an all-day celebration of carefully paired fine vintages from Babylonstoren while the team at Ground the Venue elevate all they have got to offer through a three-course set menu.
A Babylonstoren sommelier or expert hosts a guided tasting of the wine farm’s best offering. This is a great opportunity to sharpen your wine knowledge in a casual setting. The farm is set at the foot of Simonsberg in the Franschhoek wine valley, and is well known for its unique wine-producing vessels, from amphorae clay pots to open cement fermenters and concrete eggs.
The Winter Feast dining experience kicks off with a selection of sharing pan-fried brie with sage and crispy gnocchi, and warming truffle mushroom soup with cheesy croutes.
For mains, choose between slow-cooked Harissa lamb shoulder with suateed spinash, labneh and lemon, or oven-baked chicken. Vegetarians can look forward to a rich butternut pasta with parmesan and a fiery arrabiatta sauce. End with decadent tiramisu-inspired chocolate brownies.
