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.

    It was an absolute disappointment. First they couldn't find the booking (even though the deposit was paid). So we couldn't have pleasant sits. We were put next to a table of 10 doing their birthday, talking out loud on the phone, having their tripod and phone on all the time. So noisy and unpleasant. The waiters were totally lost, asking the same questions again and again. One would bring platers, the other would remove them 10 seconds later (??) The pizza was soggy, the tiramisu was so boozy that we couldn't finish it. Do you think that the restaurant offered a coffee or even a bottle of water to make it up for it? Nope.
