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.

    I really enjoyed a superb birthday breakfast at Idiom. The Eggs Benedict on polenta paired with a glass of Brut Prosecco was the perfect combo — beautifully balanced and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, and the setting made the experience even better. With stunning views of the mountains and False Bay, it’s hard to imagine a more picturesque way to start the day. I highly recommended Idiom for a special occasion or simply a memorable breakfast out.
