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.

    Poor response online to reschedule my visit which I later found out that vineyard is shutdown for renovation. And no refund of my paid money for wine tasting and kids tasting.
