Take a seat overlooking the Rickety Bridge vineyards. Sip a glassful of crisp estate wine and enjoy a delicious lunch while drinking in the splendour of the magnificent surroundings. Every creation from our team of talented chefs is given extra zest by the striking beauty of the setting and stunning views of the Franschhoek mountains.

Rickety Bridge is an enchanting Franschhoek wine estate that earns its place in the Cape's cuisine capital. Franschhoek is home to some of the best restaurants in South Africa. The Restaurant in the Vines has made way for Paulina's, named in honour of the original owner of the property in 1797, Paulina de Villiers. The restaurant spills out from a cosy thatched area onto shaded decks with views over the vineyards and mountains.

    Lunch in the most beautiful setting! The team at Paulina's went above and beyond for my girlfriend's birthday celebration. We absolutely loved our lunch, the gorgeous room, and the surroundings of such a stunning winery. We highly recommend the Rickety Bridge and a lunch at Paulina's, especially to those who will be taking the Wine Tram!
