Rickety Bridge has been part of the Franschhoek Valley since the late 1700s, a Cape farm beside the river with vineyards stretching to the mountains behind. It carries a fresh energy while keeping what makes it special: serious wine without the ceremony, good food, and padel among the vines.
The wines come in two ranges. Foundation Stone draws on the things communities are built on, shared knowledge, craftsmanship and connection, offering wines that are interesting yet easy to enjoy. Regna Loca explores South Africa’s regions, pairing celebrated cultivars with the places they thrive.
Stay in the historic Manor House or at Farm Stay’s Jonkershuis, Homestead or Cottage, where mornings begin slowly and breakfast is cooked to order. Wander over for a tasting or cellar tour, then linger over a platter or a long lunch. And when the table’s done, there’s always a game at the Padel Club.
Come for the wine. Come back for the way of life.
