Rickety Bridge wine estate is undoubtedly one of the most progressive wineries in the Cape. The historic winemaking cellar was recently renovated and converted into a barrel fermentation centre, the new winery was built, and modern cooling equipment was installed.
The newly built wine tasting centre is the perfect place to sample 200 years of winemaking tradition: taste these delightful Franschhoek wines in comfort, al fresco in summer on the winery veranda or relaxing in front of the fire in winter. The pleasures of these outstanding South African wines extend beyond the bottle.
