Babel

For an unforgettable meal in the winelands, take a trip out to this Eden where the farm-to-table cuisine is imaginative and exquisite (a red salad of beets, strawberries and tomatoes is almost too pretty to eat). The institution's purity is evident when, between courses, diners are encouraged to walk through the gardens where almost all of the ingredients are grown. This is an experience that should not be missed by foodies, garden lovers or those who appreciate living well.
