Cross the
“bridge” at the entrance to the picturesque
Rickety Bridge Winery, straddling the
Franschhoek River, and be ushered into a
“between the vines experience”. A cradled haven
of multi-faceted splendour, nestled against the
Dassenberg Mountain, in what was once called
Klein Oliphantshoek, Rickety Bridge is a
destination characterised by beauty, mystery,
romanticism and history. What other romantic
destination in Franschhoek could one choose as a
wedding destination than Rickety Bridge?
The Rickety Bridge wedding venue can host up to
85 guests in the charming Cape Dutch Banqueting
hall converted from the original barrel
maturation cellar. The wedding venue at Rickety
Bridge boasts a breakaway room which converts
into a chapel. This room is highly versatile and
is often used as a dance floor or service area
for a buffet style dinner after the ceremony.
The venue at Rickety Bridge offers a verandah
which spills over into the vineyards. This area
can be covered by a Bedouin Tent and used as a
dance floor, pre lunch / dinner canapés or
simply as a relaxing lounge area. Any number of
guests can be accommodated in an elegant marquee
set in the Rickety Bridge Manor House gardens.
Alternatively the Manor House gardens can be
used for a wedding ceremony with a gazebo set up
on the lawns, providing magnificent views of the
Franschhoek Mountains.
The idyllic setting of the Rickety Bridge wine
estate provides many stunning backgrounds for
photography and memories that will last forever.
Part of the excitement of planning your dream
wedding function is choosing the menu. Rickety
Bridge offers a selection of set menus as a
guideline. We can offer anything from light
canapés and simple cuisine to substantial and
elaborate grand concoctions of sublime delight.
