Excellent lunch! Great service, portion sizes and delicious meals. We really enjoyed the Rickety Bridge Shiraz that we had with lunch and bought some bottles to take home with us.Oxtail and polenta, and pork ribs and chips. Our compliments to the team! The snow capped mountain view was a special bonus :)

What an amazing day out at Rickety bridge wine estate. Service was 5 star, the food was amazing. A memorable day indeed. Will definitely be back. Thank u for making it special. Your staff are amazing.

Definitely my top 3 on the tram. Beautiful setting, amazing wine and personal touch. Highly recommend Rickety Bridge

One of Cape Towns finest spots, tucked away in gorgeous mountains with views that make time forgotten. Leave your worries behind and be treated to fantastic dishes, superb wine selections and top notch barista-brewed coffee.

We were there at lunchtime on a Saturday and the place was packed, was happy for the owners, but it was too much for me. Staff were just coping but still friendly and we had an excellent pizza and drinks. Ill try it during the week next time. I found their wines to be expensive.

Fabulous venue 👌 Great wines and friendly staff!

What an amazing experience! The wine and food were excellent. Highly recommended.

Fantastic wine tasting via the tram. We enjoyed our waiter Charles … he was engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There is a panna cotta wine pairing but need to book. Cheese platters available and very cozy surrounds. Great experience

The Tasting Plate at Paulina’s restaurant is truly the best of both worlds!A selection of three food portions served on one tasting plate, paired with complementing wines.We chose the Tasting Plate 1 option:1. Locally sourced fish on a bed of baby potatoes, leeks and topped with a tomato salsa Paired with Foundation Stone White2. Mild coconut-based chicken curry with jasmine rice, a homemade roti, and coconut shavings Paired with Rickety Bridge Chardonnay3. Homemade mushroom gnocchi with a hint of garlic and chilli Paired with Rickety Bridge MerlotAnd what a delicious choice it was!😋 Thereafter we indulged in a wine tasting at the tasting room and the staff were very understanding when we asked if we could only taste white wines. The Chardonnay was hands down our favourite!

An absolutely delightful Foodee experience, cant wait for our next visit. Its a beautiful location, staff are so friendly and professional and our food was a feast just just beautifully presented. Upon making our reservation via e mail, the response and confirmation was almost immediate.

Refreshingly amazing service for a restaurant in Cape Town. This is above 5 stars. What a stunning place. Most delicious ribs in town. Ill definitely be returning. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great Farm, Lovely Wine, Friendly Service.... But understaffed and long waiting periods

Really amazing wines which you can taste overlooking these breathtaking mountains.The service is great. Super knowledgeable about the wine making process, flavours and know how to keep a good service pace. Really appreciated spending time there.

Rickety Bridge is my favorite wine farm in the Cape. Their wine is fantastic, my personal preference being the Semillon, a rare white that has legs like no other. Today was our fourth visit and as always our wine tasting, a generous 5 for R60, was presented with humor and charm. Every adventure has been led by a different, yet delightful sommelier who delivers insightful attention with space to savor the moment. The views speak for themselves and Paulina’s is an exquisite restaurant that needs a review of its own.

Visited as part of the wine tram and didnt regret it. Recommend the platters, one of the best cheese boards Ive had. Great staff and atmosphere, killer views. Also get a tractor ride to and from the tram.

Beautiful views of the mountains from the outside area. I had the baked cheesecake. It was rich and creamy with a lovely berry compote.

Stayed in the Manor House for two days. What a lovely experience! The rooms were spacious, clean and beautiful. Breakfast was freshly prepared each morning - delicious! And it included a complimentary wine tasting done by enthusiastic and friendly staff. We loved every moment and would recommend this historic and well run establishment over and over.

Friendly staff, food is brilliant, especiqlly the pork belly. Highly recommend visitng Rickety Bridge

Absolutely loved it. Our favorite wine farm of the day. Staff was friendly and very organized and the entire experience with the Tram and tractor was great. We also loved the cheese platter. We will definitely be back.

Lovely wines and very friendly staff...

Very delicious food and a stunning view

Old world CharmNot just wine ,but Incredible locationInteresting wine tasting optionsGreat restaurant, stunning accommodation

Best experience....very beautiful view...Its highly recommendable

Great vibe! Great experience! Great host!

Great Shiraz & Pinotage!

The wine tasting was good. Unfortunately, they missed our picnic reservation we made online, so the food wasnt ready but we got some free bubbly while we waited. We didnt get the whole menu we expected. The manager tried to make up for it as best he could. Beautiful view and very Covid conscious.

Mr Charles Johnson gave us the best experience you can ever dream of ,i think l must consider putting my blend on shelves it is a killer 🥱😅😅😅🥂

Delicious wine, beautiful surrounds! The tasting was a top notch experience.

The pork ribs were off, smothered with butter and sweet sauce. I couldnt even taste the meat. The fish was dry with a think butter layer. The service is very disastisfactory. Even when we complained about the food the waiter didnt even seem to be concerned..Bad bad bad wine Estate if you ask me.

Great staff. Great food. Great wine. What more can can I say.

Dylan, who shares the same birthday as Bob Dylan, was a delight with his wine knowledge and humour! The charcuterie board was delicious. We took home Rickety Bridges shiraz!

Great place and good wine

Good service. Beautiful setting. Lovely wine. A really pleasant experience

We spent the night at the manor house, it was awesome. The room was amazing and the breakfast so so scrumptious. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Definitely reccommed a sleep over. Martha and staff make you feel so special

Nice stopping point on wine tour, just a shame we couldnt buy any of the wines we tasted today because of virus restrictions

Lovely wine tasting experience. Highly recommended!!

Excellent service. Great food. The wine, nuff said. I could not fault them on anything.

Very peaceful. Good service

Great function venue, excellent service and some of the best wines you will find. About 50% of their wine is apparently exported, so can only purchased at the estate or online. Would definitely recommend their tastings and you can order a meal while tasting. Very reasonably priced wines (for the quality) and food menu.

I have been there for wine tatsting , nice experience and i bought good wine as well , enjoyed the tour and place and nice view

Lovely wine, lovely restaurant under big trees. Waiters knowledgeable about their wines. We had a cheeseboard with wine tasting and it was delicious.

Loved the wine tasting here! Great wines, for fair prices. The guy hosting the wine tasting was super passionate about the wines which really added to our positive experience. Also enjoyed the cheese platter, and they have a nice merchandise shop.

Lovely wine tasting and great cheese platter.

Very yummy snacks, amazing cheese and meats platter and lovely vibe

The food is delicious. Wines exquisite!! great environment for the whole family

Exceptional service and a real value for money breakfast for R80, the mushrooms weee good with well flavored tomatoes as well as a good portion of butter for the toast.

Service is excellent, Charles made us feel welcome from the start, the wines are superb and Charles gave as a detailed history of each wine and a history of the farm. From the wine venue you can order food from the restaurant. The wine train (tractor with carriage) arrived with guests. Whether you sit inside or outside it is definitely a stop not to miss in Franschoek

Rickety Bridge is a little piece of heaven on earth. They literally cater for everyones needs, from the best wine and cheese tasting to the best wedding venue. We had such an amazing stay at Rickety Bridge and Eldorét the wedding coordinator and the team made sure that our fairy tale wedding is a dream come true. We could not have asked for anything more. Everything was just perfect. I can mot recommend this wine farm with its breathtaking views, mouth watering food, warm service and big personality enough!!! Thank you for everything!!

Beautiful setting, amazing wines, and excellent service

An experience like no other...If I could give 10 stars I would. If you are in Franschoek and you can only do 1 farm, Rickety Bridge is the obvious choice.We have been at the farm for their Parkrun and we have enjoyed a wine tasting as a part of the Wine Tram experience. Our experience today however was out of this world. The Rickety Bridge, Panna Cotta and Wine Pairing is 1 of my 2 favourite pairings I have ever done (Rickety Bridge is one of 105 farms we have visited) the pairing is spectacular and the effort put into matching each wine with the Panna Cotta is evident.When it comes to wine the Chardonnay and Shiraz stand out. The Pinotage however was our favourite and we where lucky enough to taste their Cabernet Reserve and their Crossover (The Pinotage from their Icon range). To this day it is the most expensive bottle of wine I have purchased and I still feel like I got a bargain.Make sure you book if you want to do the Panna Cotta pairing, but if you are in the Cape Town/Stellenbosch/Franschoek area Rickety Bridge is a must.The tasting area is beautiful and sitting outside under the trees is great.Both occasions we were at the wine tasting our service was better than we could have hoped for and we were spoiled with more than we expected. If you love wine and you are looking for something unique Rickety Bridge is as good as it gets.

In Franschoek, a fantastic place called Rickety Bridge. Wine tasting at its best. A great blend of wines that are very delicately balanced. A great host, who is greatly knowledgeable on wines.Then, theres Ice Cream infused wine. An experience, that should NOT be missed, should you be wine tasting through Franschoek. Lynda and I had the most wonderful experience with the smells and tastes, that is Franschoek.Great wines and great Service!Keep it up!!

Fabulous choice of accommodation after a full day of wine tram adventure. The manor faces a field of vines and the sweeping view of mountain.Room was spacious - decorated with good taste. The bathroom was as big as the bedroom itself. Breakfast was cooked fresh and plenty.We got to enjoy a complimentary wine tasting before we left the farm next day morning. Whites were especially pleasant.

Great service, with an awesome of the tram.

Such a great experience. Great wine and great service. Thank you Helandia for making it happen.

Lovely wine farm, friendly staff with an affordable wine tasting and a delicious cheese board

Fantastic service, enjoyed the wine tasting and stay at the guest lodge, beautiful scenery of the mountains. Well taken care of.

Thank you Gary and Dylan! We arrived with no booking in the middle of chaotic wine group tours but they fit us in at the wine bar to give us an amazing wine tasting. After things calmed down, between tour groups, we were able to sit down and have a delicious cheese board with our wine. We ended up buying 4 cases of wine because we had such a good time. Thanks again guys.

Great wine tastings

Always beautiful. Love the wines and love the beautiful setting.

Good food, warm ambiance and friendly staff. An open kitchen and chef Malander is a craftsman.

Very nice..............i need more wine cellars like you guys.

What a wonderful experience - best waiyer ever!!!

Great welcome. Excellent service. Enjoyed pulled pork vetkoek and fresh roosterkoek jam and chesse.

We did not actually stay here but spent a lunchtime tasting various wines served by a knowledgeable Rickety Bridge wine ambassador. We also enjoyed a great lunch. A good time had by all.

What a let down, we decided to go there for breakfast after seeing this board but once we got there +- 09:45 the lady asked us in a rude way what we want her to help us with and we said we would like breakfast. She then proceeded in asking the chef and he said they dont serve breakfast??? We drove back to the main road to make sure we were at the right place and we were! Please dont false advertise or alternatively train your staff!

As a marriage officer I marry people all over the Western Cape and this is one of those special places to marry couples. Situated in Franschhoek with spectacular views and awesome staff. You cant go wrong to get married here.

Spectacular views, service and food is great 👍

The wine tasting center at Rickety Bridge is normally very busy, but when I visited it was a quiet Monday morning in the winter. Their wines are known to be very good, but the guy that was presenting the tasting (unfortunately I cant remember his name) made the whole experience even better. We spoke about the different flavour profiles and he started guiding me according to my tastes which was great. He didnt just have a lot of knowledge about the wines and winery, but also the surrounding Franschhoek Valley. The tasting area itself is beautiful and you cant help getting lost in thought while tasting the delicious wines and looking out at the surrounding mountains. There is also a lawn area where you can go relax and enjoy a bottle of wine, as well as play a bit of boules on a nice day. I had a great time and cant wait to visit again when the weather is warmer.

We went for for a wine tasting and ordered a platter for the table. Great wine and good platter. The service was fast and friendly.After reading the previous bad reviews regarding the service, i assume they corrected it. Our waiter was very attentive. No complaints from our side

Amazing service, friendly staff, food is excellent

We order a snack platter and wine tasting. After half an hour still nothing the waiter just ignores us until we got up to leave then he suddenly want help us!! Very poor service i do not recommend this place.

The restaurant is exceptionally good. Every meal and starter was incredible, as was the coffee, and the service was quick. Worth the money!And I didn’t even try it with the wine pairings.

Highly recommend the tasting for R95 and the cheese board. The best vineyard I have been to in the Cape.Wines were something special and the grape jam.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We booked the pannacotta and wine pairing two days ahead and unfortunately once we got there, the booking was not there so we were not served what was planned. We did wine tasting and the staff brought us cheese platter on the house. We appreciated the effort to make up for their mistake. The winery also has a nice gift shop.

Wow. After tasting The Valley Rickety Bridge humbled us with amazing service. Fennel was an amazing host. Knowledgeable and kind he tasted is through the portfolio and gave us a guided tour. We left happy and excited to bring the wines back to Canada. Highly recommended. Their wines from entry level to reserve range are incredible. The Bridge Cabernet stole the show.

Went for the wine tasting. Very welcoming, great wine, friendly people, beautiful place! The view is majestic as the property is situated on the side of a hill. A big selection of inexpensive wines. One of my favorite stops on our trip.

Beautiful location! Everything looks so neat, and well maintained. The wait staff are super friendly, always there when you even think you might need them. Cheese platter is also quite great with a wine tasting.

Great service, but was not really a fan of the wine. Nice estate. I loved playing bowls there.

From FriscoTexas USA. Great place and atmosphere. Enjoyed our day here and the wine tasting was a great experience.

Reviewing mainly the restaurant...excellent lunch, with all of the various menu items we chose being tasty and freshly prepared for us. Not overly inspired by the somewhat lackluster responses from the staff, but nothing that cant be improved with a few words in ears :)

This is a review mainly for the guesthouse.When you ask 3000 rands per night (almost 300$), you have a responsibility to your clients and unfortunately, this establishment does not live up to expectations.The place is tired looking and has a general humidity smell. Lots of crack, chipped paint, dust and dirt (see pictures).Even the restaurant and wine tasting rooms had food on the floor and tables. We decided not to eat there after all.The rooms are dark and natural sunlight cannot enter. There is no view, at least from the Shiraz bedroom.Staff was nice and helpful, but very basic in terms of greeting and offered services.All in all, our stay was a great deception in every way.Definitely overpriced and not recommendable.

One of the first stops on the Franschoek win tram, Rickety Bridge is one of those farms that really surprises. They offer a great selection of wines with impeccable service which can sometimes be difficult to find at the best of times.The venue itself offers great views in a lush setting especially enjoyable in summer with their great selection of white wines. Highly recommended.

Very poor response from staff. Just went there for wine tasting but did not even bother after the “welcome” we received. More farms out there with much better services.

Delicious food, friendly service and beautiful scenery.

Very nice winery. They serve the biggest portions of wine during tasting. The server was wonderful. The place felt warm and homey. The scenery is not the best at this winery, but the wine, service, and environment are top notch.

The pinotage is exceptional!! Wonderful wine! The Shiraz is nice too! Lovely place with a great gift shop as well. 5 tastings for 50RAND.

We mixed our own wine and had an amazing three course dinner. Just great!!!

I had an amazing time yesterday at Rickety Bridge Winery for wine tasting and lunch.We all enjoyed the day celebrating my grandson Grayson 1st birthday.

Lovely grounds and friendly staff. The Chardonnay was a surprising favourite but the reds were not that great. Food sounded very promising and was well cooked but not overly flavoursome.

They dont seem very keen for good service. No palate cleanser, no spittoon, very mechanical information about the wine. A bug flew into my wine and the waitress said, more protein!

Nice place to visit. Our first visit was not great since they had something wrong with their sewer and it smelled all over. But the second time was perfect. Good wine and friendly staff.

Excellent service

The food was five star! Presentation and taste superb. However, white wine was not served chilled and should have been the cherry on the cake. The experience was good and so was the wine tasting.

Exceptional service

Location not as nice as Grand Provence but we had a very enjoyable platter and the wine was delectable. Thumbs up!

Stunning place to visit for a wedding. Its so beautiful, and the staff were all so helpful! I would highly recommend this place!

Great place

Lovely setting. One of Framschoeks best

Youth day lunch at Paulinas restaurant. We really enjoy the pork belly. Great view and an a nice relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and fast.

Lovely venue. Great wines and wine tasting. Nice fire on a rainy day!!
