We headed out in the @fordn1_city #fordterritory to explore the beauty of @babylonstoren , one magical moment at a time. From lush vineyards to fragrant essential oils, tranquil gardens, and friendly donkeys, every corner is an experience waiting to be discovered. Ending the day with a scenic drive through Franschhoek in the new Ford Territory—pure bliss! #babylonstoren #fordterritory #exploresa

🚗 Mom-life test drive with @my_motheringdays ! I spent a few days with the new Ford Tourneo from @fordn1_city , and as a mom of three, I had to see if it’s really built for family life. Spoiler: It’s almost the perfect mom-mobile! 👀

Every year, we kick off with a family picnic, and this year, we chose the beautiful @simonsrestaurant at Groot Constantia, located on South Africa’s oldest wine farm.

After exploring the rich history of @grootconstantia , we made our way to Simon’s, where we were welcomed with warm smiles and a stunning picnic setup under the shade of majestic trees. The setting was perfect—balancing the summer sun with the cool shade, creating a relaxing escape just 15 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre.

Here’s what we loved:

Family-Friendly: While there’s no play area, the open spaces kept the kids entertained and happy.
Amazing Food: Generous portions, excellent quality, and leftovers to take home—it’s everything you’d want in a picnic basket.
Scenic and Convenient: A hidden gem along the Constantia Wine Route that perfectly blends nature, history, and culinary delights.
Even though this is a #sponsored video, Simon’s encouraged us to share our honest thoughts—and we can confidently say this spot is worth a visit.

Would we recommend it? Absolutely.
From our family to yours, we wish you a happy 2025 filled with memorable adventures. When you’re planning your next picnic, don’t miss out on the magic of Simon’s at Groot Constantia.

Location: Groot Constantia Wine Estate
