Faber Restaurant on Avondale Biodynamic farm is a very special place. Small and intimate, peaceful yet dynamic, it follows biodynamic principles to maximise on natural goodness with minimum intervention. The food itself is inventive yet simple, and fresh, fresh, fresh, with almost all ingredients coming from the farm itself, including the amazing wine! Everything is prepared with love and careful attention. Their motto is Terra Est Vita – Earth is Life. To experience this truly unique sensibility, visit the farm for one of their Eco-Safaris, with a wine tasting and lunch paired with Avondale wines.
