Rickety Bridge Wine Estate

Rickety Bridge Winery is an historic Franschhoek wine estate. Situated in the renowned Franschhoek valley, the food and wine capital of South Africa, the Rickety Bridge winery and Country Manor House nestle against the hillside overlooking vineyards and the majestic Wemmershoek Mountains.

The land dates back to 1694 when the farms were granted to the first French Huguenots who settled in the area. Rickety Bridge was originally part of La Provence farm, one of the first seven French Huguenot farms in Franschhoek.

Over the years, this Franschhoek wine estate was subdivided and on 13 May 1797, the current section of land was granted to the widow, Paulina De Villiers.

The property changed hands a number of times and in the 1980's became known as Rickety Bridge due to the old railway sleeper bridge which crossed the Franschhoek River on the property.

Today this Franschhoek wine estate is home to a modern boutique-style winery, a unique restaurant, romantic function and wedding venue, conference centre and luxurious 4 star accommodation.
