The rickety bridge straddling the Franschhoek River takes you into vineyards nestling against the Dassenberg Mountains in the once called Olifantshoek area. A valley filled with mystery, romance and rich memories of long ago. Images of a feeble, somewhat tottering bridge are soon forgotten as one crosses the rickety bridge, to this remarkable wine estate.
This land dates back to 1694 when farms, situated in the valley at the foot of what is now known as the Franschhoek Mountain were given to Huguenot farmers - Rickety Bridge was once part of the original La Provence farm.
Rickety Bridge Winery celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1997. The cellar is situated on the temperate slopes of the Franschhoek valley, combined with a cellar policy of minimal interference producing a distinctive choice of wines which are the hallmark of Rickety Bridge Winery.
Be sure to visit our newly renovated Wine Tasting Centre with magnificent views over the Wemmershoek Mountains and the Franschhoek valley with its natural beauty. Our skilled staff will take you through our range of excellent wines to ensure a memorable experience of Rickety Bridge Winery.
Now Rickety Bridge Winery truly is one of the most progressive, modern boutique wineries in South Africa.
