Worth a detour? Without question! If not for the setting, the food at The Lane Vineyard restaurant certainly makes any travel worthwhile. Nestled in the Adelaide Hills, The Lane Vineyard sits elevated, boasting views out over the vines to the rolling hills beyond. Care and attention is obvious in every detail, and the seasonal menu is no exception. Sophisticated entrees like confit ocean trout, pickled white anchovy, egg, capers and salsa verde excite the tastebuds ahead of such mains as seared duck breast with pickled cherries, foie gras and preserved truffles, but be sure to leave room for The Lane vineyard's fantastic desserts. Simply superb!
