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.

    There's a set menu, but luckily the waiter allowed to choose à la carte. Mostly appreciated as we don't have a sweet tooth!

    What n wonderful culinary experience. The setting is beautiful and that definitely added to the whole experience. The line fish ceviche as a starter was bright, tangy and refreshing. And the beef fillet was cooked to perfection: tender, juicy and full of natural flavour. The sommelier and the waiter added to a most enjoyable experience.
