Situated at the foot ofthe Helderberg mountains, overlooking breathtaking views of the False BayPeninsula and Table Mountain, Rykaart's offers a set three course family styledining wedding experience inspired by the beautiful produce grown on this biodynamicfarm. Wholesome food and exceptional wedding service have always been close to Alex and Ella's hearts.
