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.

    Did the wine blending which was so enjoyable. Zizi our waitress was very knowledgable with a lovely sense of humour. The cheese platters were fabulous as well. A good day was had by all.

    I would have expected that the wine for the wine and panacotta pairing would be at a proper temperature. Both were much to warm (25 degrees room temperature) which does not allow a proper tasting.

    Rickety Bridge Wine Tasting Centre responded on Thu 06 Feb 25:
    Dear Klaus, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that the wine and panna cotta pairing did not meet the expected standards regarding temperature. We understand how important this detail is to fully enjoy the tasting experience, and we regret that we fell short during your visit. Your comments have been shared with our team, and we are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again. We deeply value your input as it helps us improve and provide a better experience for all our guests. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with the exceptional experience you deserve. Kind regards, Rickety Bridge Management
