Father’s Day is a chance to put the usual Sunday routine aside and give Dad a reason to linger over lunch. Across South Australia, restaurants, wineries and dining rooms are preparing special experiences for Sunday, September 6, with menus that make the most of local produce, great wine and plenty of time around the table.
Whether Dad is happiest in the Adelaide Hills, among the vines of the Clare Valley or with a French feast in the city, these five Father’s Day offerings are worth planning the day around.
Make it a Dad-worthy long lunch at Anvers Wines
