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.

    Well restaurant week has become bit of a joke. We had the rw menu. The menu is strongly influenced by mushrooms. The pasta was not properly cooked. The short rib was not pleasant at all and left half of it. The mushroom risotto was excellent. Dessert was a non event . On the whole this was a disappointing experience and not one worth the money. We have eaten here many times in the past but their standards are slipping and i wont be rushing back.

    Good food and great service. The beef was too salty for my liking and I had expressed that to the waiter and he said it’s usually that salty. I could eat it. Otherwise great service I really enjoyed the place
