The Lane Vineyard

“Being a winery that prides itself on growing and producing wines of provenance, we are constantly on the hunt for amazing local produce to help bring our region to the table.”

Kingfish with ginger, pickled kohlrabi, and lime aïoli; pork jowl with scallops, anise butter, shitake, and ink pasta; and poached quince with whipped honey, meringue, and burnt butter.

As you make wine, so shall you cook, said nobody ever. But when you run a vineyard according to sustainable principles then you naturally follow the same ethos for your restaurant menu. At this sleek, contemporary and delightfully located Adelaide Hills winer-diner, Chef James Brinklow is on first name terms with his suppliers, such as the biodynamic Ngeringa Farm, and nearby Woodside Cheese Wrights. He offers a chef’s table experience with a daily changing – and occasionally, hourly changing – menu, so that diners can immerse themselves in the flavours of the local region through both wine and food – only if they can drag their eyes away from the seductive vineyard views.

“No wonder it’s a flagship destination for the Adelaide Hills.” Gourmet Traveller
