Idiom Vineyards is known for their high quality wines. Part of the Idiom experience is the drive from the gate to the tasting room/restaurant which is a relaxing drive of just under 3km. As you climb the mountain you get beautiful scenic views around you and even cross two railroads. The main building in which the tasting room and restaurant is located is beautiful and modern, with great views of the bay far down below. Although the restaurant capitalizes more on what the building has to offer and the tasting area seems like a bit of an afterthought, the wines and staff make the experience worth it. It is good to note that the tasting area is around a bar island, so I wouldn't recommend a tasting at Idiom if you are a large group. They have 2 wine tasting options to choose from, with one focusing on their more entry level wines and the other on their premium wines. The guy that did our tasting, Johan, was extremely knowledgeable and just put the cherry on-top of the entire experience. Their wines are a bit more on the expensive side however well worth a try, and the vineyard is a must visit if in the area.
