El Rancho at The Lane
After such a fun event last year, El Rancho is returning to The Lane this Winter Reds – and we can’t wait to do it all again.

Pair it all with a glass (or two) from our wine bar, a warming mulled wine, and a slow-burning live soundtrack made for long winter afternoons.

El Rancho 2025
On a misty Sunday afternoon on the last weekend of July, we gathered to celebrate Winter Reds – El Rancho style. This sell-out event served up an afternoon of incredible food and warming wines, enjoyed fireside against the backdrop of rolling Adelaide Hills views.
El Rancho brought all the cosy winter energy we could’ve hoped for. Cowboy hats made plenty of appearances, smoky aromas drifted through the air, and every corner of the estate felt warm, lively and full of good times. Spirits were high as guests tucked into smoky beef short ribs, truffle-baked brie and the most epic fried chicken.
The wine was flowing, and the vibes were unmatched, with The Happy Leonards and Billy Bob keeping the dance floor alive with their crowd-favourite covers all afternoon long.
The event sold out quickly, and with tickets once again extremely limited we recommend booking now to avoid missing out!
Grab your boots and your friends and join us for a fantastic weekend in the Hills.
