Located between the Dassenberg Mountain and the Franschhoek River, the vineyard blends perfectly into an almost picturesque panorama.
Originally part of the historic La Provence farm granted to French Huguenot settlers in 1694, the land that is now Rickety Bridge was later awarded to Paulina De Villiers in 1797—one of South Africa’s first female landowners. Over time, the estate was subdivided, with this portion evolving into the renowned Rickety Bridge Estate.

Perched on an elevated platform, the centre features a stunning three-sided glass façade that offers breathtaking views of the vineyards and the majestic Franschhoek mountains.
Drawing inspiration from the Franschhoek Valley’s rich heritage, our menu is a collection of elevated comfort dishes served with true Winelands hospitality. Each plate tells a story of our region, blending cherished South African flavours with French bistro classics, all crafted from the finest locally sourced ingredients.
