Nestled in a picturesque river valley, Rickety Bridge Estate offers an enchanting setting where centuries of winemaking tradition blend seamlessly with breathtaking natural beauty. With roots stretching back to 1797, when pioneering landowner Paulina De Villiers established her legacy on this remarkable terrain, our estate continues to honour the spirit of innovation and excellence under the stewardship of the Crosbie family.

Our Wine Tasting Centre, perched on an elevated platform adjacent to our working cellar, features a stunning three-sided glazed façade that frames panoramic views of rolling vineyards and dramatic mountain vistas. Through expansive glass walls, you’ll glimpse our maturation cellar in action, whilst floating terraces beckon you to savour our handcrafted wines surrounded by flourishing vines.

Here, amidst diverse soils and terrain, we invite you to taste our exceptional portfolio of premium wines, each bottle a testament to our commitment to traditional winemaking methods and exceptional quality.

    We had a great experience at the wine tasting. It’s a great value for the cost and all the wines are fantastic. The service was great, however we were doing the wine team and our server was nowhere to be found for the last 20 minutes before the tram left for us to close out and pay. We had to go to the desk where we were able to pay, but had to wait 30 more minutes until the next tram.

    Rickety Bridge Wine Tasting Centre responded on Sun 29 Mar 26:
    Dear Austin, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you had a great wine tasting experience with fantastic wines and great value. However, we sincerely apologise that your server disappeared for the last 20 minutes before your tram departure, causing you to miss it and wait 30 minutes for the next one. This is unacceptable and we'll address this with our team to ensure Wine Tram guests can close out promptly. We hope you'll visit us again! Warmest regards, Rickety Bridge Team
