Presented by Babylonstoren | Please meet us at the ticket office

Only once every season, Babylonstoren gathers guests around one long table, hidden deep within the farm. These extraordinary evenings unfold in secret spaces rarely opened to guests – among the orchards, beneath the olive trees, or inside our historic cellars – where the garden writes the menu and the moment.

Each gathering is a celebration of earth, abundance, and sensory immersion. From the scent of herbs in the air to the texture of hand-harvested ingredients from the kitchen gardens, every detail honours seasonality, creativity, and connection. Guests, dressed in harmony with the season’s palette walk unhurriedly among the orchards, break bread, and share in a moment that brings people together with purpose.

The feast – served generously, straight from the garden – is more than a meal. It is a gathering that feeds more than appetite. A celebration of harvest moments and shared stories. A table that nourishes, inspires, and connects. A table that invites you to linger, to drink in the moment and share another glass of Babylonstoren’s finest.

This is Babylonstoren at its most intimate: a soulful, seasonal experience for those who seek beauty in the details – and meaning in the meal.

Time: 17h00 for 17h30

Dress Code: Shades of Summer Reds

November at Baccō is summer served in cicchetti!
⁠
From the smokey sweetness of tomato galette with whipped ricotta and grilled peaches, to the golden crunch of courgette arancini with lemon cream, each dish captures the warmth and brightness of the season.⁠
⁠
Think lobster & white fish raviolo in a silky bisque, salmon crudo with prosecco and pineapple salsa, and smoked pork belly layered with miso mayo and yuzu pickle, flavours crafted to be shared under the summer sun. 
⁠
Come hungry for sunshine. Come hungry for summer.⁠
