The Idiom Restaurant and Wine Tasting Centre is nestled in the heart of the Helderberg, just a few minutes outside Somerset West. This southernmost corner of the Stellenbosch Wine Region provides the ideal setting and climatic conditions for Idiom's collection of iconic regional blends and distinctive Italian-South African varietal wines, all of which can be enjoyed in our restaurant and tasting room.

Overlooking the sweeping coastline of False Bay and framed by the dramatic Helderberg mountain range, Idiom offers one of the Cape's most memorable dining and wine experiences. Join us for breakfast, lunch, or Thursday and Friday evening dinner service, then discover our award-winning wines through informative guided tastings and curated food-and-wine pairing experiences, all enjoyed against a spectacular panoramic backdrop.

    We were a group of 31 hikers (plus friends who joined later) who arrived wet and hungry to be welcomed with a warm fire, very friendly and accommodating staff and scrumptious food! Thank you Idiom - you helped to make yesterday have "all the makings of a great memory". (From the lyrics of Amy Grant's "Simple Things".)
