Rickety Bridge Wine Farm
The land of Rickety Ridge Winery dates back to 1694 when the farms were granted to the first French Huguenot settlers. Rickety Bridge was once part and parcel of La Provence farm, which was one seven of the first French Huguenot farms in and around Franschhoek.
Rickety Bridge Winery is an historic Franschhoek wine estate. Nested in the famous Franschhoek wine valley, you will find the historical Rickety Bridge Winery and Country Manor House, overlooking the stately Wemmershoek Mountain Range.
The farm was subdivided over the years but on 13 May 1797, the current section of land was granted to Paulina De Villiers, a widow.
The property changed ownership many times over and in the 1980's was renamed Rickety Bridge; this is because there is an old railway sleeper bridge which crosses the Franschhoek River on the farm.
