The Wine Tasting Centre is adjacent to the wine cellar, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of a working winery. It is housed on an elevated platform with a three-sided full-height glazed façade, offering views of the vineyards and majestic Franschhoek mountains. The tasting centre virtually spills over, through glass walls, into the maturation cellar on the one side and onto floating terraces on the other side.

On warm, sunny days wine-lovers can taste Rickety Bridge wines on the terraces, surrounded by vines. A laid-back game of boules may beckon just a few steps away, while children can amuse themselves on the jungle gym and adjacent lawn. On cooler days, guests can gather around the wood-burning fireplace and soak up the warmth while enjoying Rickety Bridge’s fine wines. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will guide you through the various Tasting Centre offerings.

    We booked for wine tasting, 5 wines were included. Our server gave us 3 and went off to serve others. The remaining 2 reds never arrived so we left disappointed

    Always a great experience to do the wine blending. A lovely way to spend time with loved ones. There is never any pressure to get you out the door and the base wines are very pleasant

    Not the expected wine tasting. The waiter put the bottles on the table with minimum explanation. No background information on wine growing and special things to know over the winery

    Rickety Bridge Wine Tasting Centre responded on Wed 13 Nov 24:
    Dear Stefan, We are truly sorry to hear that your experience at our Rickety Bridge Tasting Room did not meet your expectations. This is certainly not the standard of service we strive to provide. We would love the opportunity to make it right, so please do let us know if you plan to visit us again. We would be delighted to ensure you have the exceptional experience you deserve. Warm regards, Rickety Bridge Management.

    Rickety Bridge is well worth a visit. The staff are friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the Panna cotta and wine pairing experience, a super holiday treat!
