Idiom wines is based in the heart of the Helderberg range. This southernmost part of the Stellenbosch wine region provides the backdrop and the perfect climatic conditions for the incredible range of wines. A celebration of terroir, unusual varietals and masterful blends, Idiom is so-called because it is home to the Cape expression of so many European classics. The Cape Idiom, if you will.

The Idiom Restaurant and Wine Tasting Centre offers world-class and informative tasting experiences that showcase Idiom’s flagship blends, signature Italian varietal wines and rare limited release 900 Series wines. Explore the ‘Cape Idiom’ of the great wine regions of the world, while taking in architecture, views, and Italian-South African wines. Guests are also able to embark on a virtual journey through the main wine regions of Italy at the Vinotria Italian Wine Library – a display of 250 wines from all over Italy distributed by Bottega Family Wines in South Africa.

    What an amazing afternoon, the setting, the food, the wines and the service could not be faulted. Luke was welcoming and so very knowledgeable, not just on the local Idiom wines but also on the grape origins and history. I would highly recommend a trip up the mountain to visit Idiom.

    We had the pleasure of visiting your estate yesterday with our team, and we were all incredibly impressed with the experience. From the stunning location to the warm hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. Your staff's professionalism and deep knowledge of the wines truly stood out, and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the visit. The blind tasting was a fantastic addition — engaging, educational, and a lot of fun. It really elevated the entire experience. We will definitely be recommending your estate to our colleagues and friends. Thank you again for such a memorable day.

    It was my 60th Birthday Breakfast! They offered the private space downstairs. The events co-ordinator went above and beyond in both the planning and the service on the day along with the staff, making it a cozy and memorable occasion for me and my guests. Very professional and kind. I highly recommend them for any event or just a meal with friends. The location and restaurant are absolutely beautiful and the food is excellent.
