The Lane Vineyard, located in the Adelaide Hills, epitomises the elegance and innovation of modern Australian winemaking while staying true to the terroir that defines this prestigious wine region. Established with a commitment to producing distinctive, long-lived wines, The Lane Vineyard enjoys an enviable piece of Adelaide Hills terroir. The vineyard's position, 450m high atop the hills adjacent to the Onkaparinga Valley, benefits from warm days and cool nights, fostering the perfect environment for ripening quality vines. This unique setting, coupled with the winery's passion for creating sophisticated, prestigious, and memorable sensory experiences, ensures that each wine is a thoughtful expression of its place of origin.
With a focus on varieties that thrive in the cooler climate of the Adelaide Hills, The Lane Vineyard produces four distinct tiers of wine – Heritage, Estate, Provenance, and Lane series. Each tier is crafted to honour and preserve the vineyard's 'sense of place', resulting in wines that are vibrant, modern expressions of their varieties and the season. This approach, rooted in the belief that great wine is made in the vineyard, is reflected in the estate's sustainable practices and minimal intervention winemaking philosophy.
The Lane Vineyard's Cellar Door and contemporary restaurant offer an immersive visit, allowing guests to explore the estate's premium wines and South Australian produce through personal tastings, food-matched wine flights, and an uninterrupted view over the estate vineyards. Situated just 25 minutes from Adelaide and a mere 3 kilometres from the historic village of Hahndorf, the vineyard provides a serene escape from the city. The restaurant, elevated in the heart of the vineyard, offers a menu designed by head chef Tom Robinson, featuring seasonal dishes that complement The Lane Vineyard's single-vineyard estate wines, showcasing the subtlety of each variety paired with the best local produce.
For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the estate also offers picnic options from October to April, where guests can enjoy chef-made picnic hampers at one of seven picturesque locations throughout the property. This blend of exceptional wine, exquisite food, and stunning views makes The Lane Vineyard a must-visit destination in the Adelaide Hills, providing an unparalleled sensory journey that celebrates the region's viticultural and culinary heritage.
