Slow doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. Slow service, slow food, slow lunch: done right, slow is beautiful. Slow is perfect. And The Zin House, at the Lowe Family winery, is supposed to be slow.

The idea here is to spend at least three hours lingering over a leisurely meal, to take time out to walk among the vegetable gardens between courses, sipping drinks and admiring bucolic views.

The cuisine is slow-food too, a locavore menu with an Italian bent, served in a modern farmhouse: housemade charcuterie with fresh radishes; creamy parmesan risotto with black truffle; chicken ballotine with pomegranate gel.

And while the wine list could use a little more diversity beyond the Lowe collection, the sense of relaxed luxury here transports Zin House into the realms of rural idyll.
