The Lane Experience
Nestled amongst the rolling Adelaide Hills, just outside of the German heritage village of Hahndorf, you’ll find The Lane Vineyard. Only five minutes from the village’s main street will bring you through the picturesque vineyards atop the hill to both the cellar door and working winery. With the first vines planted in 1993, the vineyards are home to various grapes, including six different varieties of Chardonnay grapes.
With this new age of cellar door visits now comes relaxed, structured and stylish wine tastings, along with a dining option at many, offering some of the state’s most superb seasonal menus in a welcoming environment – with The Lane’s ‘sense of place’ vision being exactly this. While you can certainly just drop by for a quick sample of the award-winning wine range, a longer time here has the potential to be unsurpassed. Not only for the wine and food, but the variety of winery experiences to choose from, for a greater and more immersive encounter.
The Gathering Experience is the winery’s signature tasting and fitting showcase of the range and restaurant. The scene is set beginning with a glass of the 2015 Blanc de Blanc as you are seated for your journey (complete with map) through a selection of flagship Estate wines each thoughtfully paired with amuse-bouche by the chef, degustation style. This is available for 2-8 people and runs for approximately 1 hour, with bookings required.
The Blend Your Own Experience takes you from the cellar door, to a walk through the winery with one of the Tasting Room team, to sitting in the Tasting Room as you are then guided by the cellar door team on the blending process to create your own personalised bottle of wine to take home. Once you have created your masterpiece it’s time to relax and enjoy a glass of wine and cheese platter to round off a fantastic day out. This is available for 2-6 people and runs for approximately 2 hours, with bookings required.

Or for a behind the scenes winery preview, the Winemakers Experience offers just that. Beginning with a crash course in actual wine making with an actual wine maker, this experience is second to none. Create your very own bottle of wine followed by a paired wines and restaurant menu tasting exclusively available May through to January. This is available for 2-6 people and runs for approximately 2 hours, with bookings required.
For the foodies, the Chef’s Experience is the ultimate. Savour the special seven course Provenance ‘estate to plate’ menu as the kitchen team personally introduces each dish to your table, impeccably paired with wine. With such a strong focus of local produce, being either farmed on the estate itself or ethically sourced from local growers and suppliers, it is a true celebration of superb seasonal ingredients and chef expertise. This is available for 2-6 people and runs for approximately 3 hours, with bookings required.
With further experiences also available, lovers of The Lane wines have the option to become a member of their exclusive Gathering Club including a tailored wine subscription delivered straight to your door.
