Situated on the outskirts of Franschhoek, the wine and food capital of South Africa, the Rickety Bridge Boutique Winery and Country Manor House nestle against the hillside overlooking vineyards and the magnificent Wemmershoek Mountains.
Rickety Bridge is a historic property dating back to 1694 and the first French Huguenot farms established in Franschhoek.
Today the property is home to a modern boutique-style winery with the capacity to handle 200 tonnes of grapes, a unique restaurant, romantic wedding and function venue, conference centre and luxurious 4 star accommodation. The Restaurant in the Vines offers guests the experience of enjoying a Cape inspired gourmet picnic right in the heart of the vineyard. Several rows of vineyard were replaced by a wooden deck, creating the ideal spot for a delicious lunch. The Restaurant in the Vines specialises in gourmet picnics but also offers a selection of lighter meals as well as tapas in the evenings. In Winter, the fare is warm and hearty.

Sharon Tarr - Sharon has been an unwavering support to the WV team. The hand-made, hand painted, hand-glued Wilderness Vision Pledge Drive table cloth is quite simply a work of art. In fact at one stage Alan and I felt it should not travel with the guys at all but instead join the signed cricket bats, champagne bottles and Pledge Drive "artefacts" ! Over and above the table cloth is the mountain of scrolls she sewed, advice she gave, shoulder offered and much more...Thank you Sharon ever so much.
Solid support, positive encouragement and an unwavering belief in the core intention, these things are the “glue” that keep us together and urge us forward. It is an absolute honour to have been endorsed by the following people and institutions:
The United Nations Environment Programme – http://www.unep.org/The South African Cricket Team
