Plan your visitAbout Maximilians Restaurant
Nestled among rolling hills and vines in Verdun, this converted cottage serves polished multi-course country lunches with an unhurried vibe. Settle into the dining room near the crackling fireplace or take a seat outdoors overlooking the lake. The kitchen leans into generous shared plates—think tender chateaubriand beef, gnudi, and rich duck dumplings. Regulars often opt for the surprise \"let us feed you\" tasting menu alongside local Adelaide Hills pours, then wander out back to hit a bucket of balls across the lake at the driving range.
- Post-Meal Driving Range: A dedicated driving range lets diners hit balls across the lake to cap off wine tasting and lunch.
- Chef-Led Tasting Menus: A surprise multi-course tasting format complements regional set menus and firelit dining.
- Vineyard Amphitheatre Grounds: Sweeping vineyard grounds and a garden amphitheatre support seamless milestone celebrations and weddings.
