Overview

Rickety Bridge Estate sits where the Franschhoek River meets the slopes of Dassenberg Mountain, a place shaped by centuries of careful hands and quiet dedication. Guests are invited to stay in one of two distinct settings: the Rickety Bridge Farm Stay, with its three restored heritage buildings and ten elegant guest rooms, or the Rickety Bridge Manor House, an intimate retreat steeped in the estate's history. The tasting room offers a natural pause in the day, a place to sit, savour, and discover the wines that have come to define Rickety Bridge. The Restaurant at Rickety Bridge enjoys one of the Franschhoek Valley's most beautiful settings, nestled among the vineyards. It is the kind of place that invites you to linger, over a glass, over a bistro style meal, over the view. Nostalgic in spirit yet alive with new energy, Rickety Bridge is one of the Cape Winelands' most cherished destinations, where a long winemaking history and a genuine love of the land find expression in everything we do. Franschhoek’s town centre is just 1.5 km away. Cape Town International Airport is 67 km away.
