Babylonstoren is a wine estate in the Drakenstein Valley in the Cape Winelands, South Africa.[1] It is a popular tourist attraction, particularly because of its garden, designed by Patrice Taravella,[2][3][4] which was described as "the Versailles of vegetable gardens" by the Sunday Times.[5] The estate was founded in 1692 and has been owned by billionaire Koos Bekker and his wife Karen Roos since 2007.[6]
