I am quite disappointed about the overall experience. I mean the interior and the exterior gained the two stars due to its uniqueness but everything else really left room for improvements. We spend 130$ for two tastings and the Dali exhibition. There is no love or personality what so ever. When we arrived in the tasting room, the expectations were high given the setup but we were left with little to no explanation or storytelling for the wines. We tasted the 5 glasses and that’s literally it. I also didn’t enjoy the wines except the 2015 Shiraz, the younger ones should really stay closed for a while longer.

As for the Dali exhibition, it was great to see the sculptures but again no hospitality, kindness or friendliness. On my questions regarding the paintings, I was met with a rather snippy response that these are of course not the real ones, since these are worth millions but it’s certified copies…

I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone - even not for the unique character of it.

very special day full of amazing memory making experiences What an amazing day we had. We started off with the blending bench experience, which was both fun and educational and we each got to take a bottle of wine home we blended ourselves, so special. The degustation lunch and wine pairing was amazing, beautiful food and beautiful wine to compliment it perfectly. We then finished off with a wine tasting experience which was also just fantastic. Staff were so friendly, informative and very welcoming, the location was magic, even with wet weather outside the views were spectacular from inside. Would recommend this to anyone.

Degustation perfection. Wine tasting on the top floor of the cube was fabulous. Delicious wines and knowledgable staff. Then headed down to D'Arry's Verandah restaurant for the degustation menu which was sublime. Sitting outside with gorgeous views of the vines, a glass of local wine, and magificent food, we couldn't have been happier.

More than just a vineyard with great staff. We visited Dárenberg to taste their wines and enjoy The Cube"". A bonus was the Salvatore Dali exhibition. What a fantastic experience. The wine tasting with Monica was tremendous. It has been qiute a long time since I was last in McLaren Vale. I could not believe the variety of wines available at this vineyard and they were great. Doesn't ant one in South Australia make a bad wine anymore. My favourites were the Fiano and Rousanne in the whites and the Shirazes, Cabernets and GSM in the reds.

Well done, Chester and his team.

Fabulous experience at the Cube and at the Gin mixing! We went to the cube to visit the Salvador Dali exhibition and also had booked into the Gin mixing experience both were fantastic! Our Gin mixing guru Dave was fabulous and we all enjoyed the experience.

Fabulous food & service at Sensorial Circus cafe Delicious food, beautiful view and friendly service. A must visit in McLaren Vale. Along with the fabulous cafe, enjoy all the quirky sites the cube has to offer. 2 adults and 2 teens had a great lunch!

Excellent Experience Had a lunch at Sensorial Circus and thoroughly enjoyed it. Meal was great, service was great, as was the setting. We then went on to do a complimentary tasting which was also a good experience with friendly and knowledgeable tasting/wine staff. As locals we had not been there before and will now be recommending it. We spent 3+ hours there in an interesting and quirky winery. It made for a total experience not just about the wine. Well done

A sensory experience to take time with and enjoy I booked a wine tasting, lunch, and Salvador Dali painting viewing experience. The wine wasn't really to our liking, but the lunch was exquisite, and the paintings, building, stairwell, even the loos, were wonderful. The entire sensory experience was mindblowing. We loved it. I had some trepidation that my husband wouldn't enjoy it, but we both came away having spent more time than I'd originally thought we would and no regrets about the entire experience. If you do one thing in the McLaren Vale region and you love art - do this!

Too much sensorial circus ,Disappointing Bit confusing at the entry, 1st floor is WC, if you can figure out how to find the door to get in, between the plastic greenery on the wall, the 2nd floor is exhibition , the 3rd is the restaurant, the 4th is wine tasting. We went there just to celebrating a birthday, got a table with nice view. The whole place is over complicated, the waitresses preparing part of the food instead of service, had to wait for the waitress then for the food, they forgot one of the dish, the food is kind of snacky type, was ok, it was warm instead of hot,

Bash event The WA Variety Bash evening launch took place here. It's a very interesting place to hold an event, and due to the different levels, it was hard to do networking. However, the food and wine did go down well.
As it was an evening event, I didn't get a chance to try any wine other than what was on offer or to explore the winery itself.
The cube is very interesting concept and lots of art work to look at. The toilets are a must visit!

Great place Wonderful experience. Unusual and fun Cube building. Interesting, colourful and fun. Great wine. Go visit . you can’t go wrong.

Great wine tasting experience in great location!! Absolutely great wine tasting experience and Charlie was very friendly and knowledgeable!!!
We bought 3 lovely bottles!!

If you can, the premium, private tasting is a must! We did the premium tasting that
meant we could go in early before anybody else and basicaly have a private tour of the art, complete eith the back stories and then had a private, premium tasting. Our host, Sarah, was amazing!!! The wines were wonderful, especialy as we did not just taste the standard range. We finished our trip by dinkng at the Circus just wonderful, all of it

Love the McLaren Vale Wine Region Love the McLaren Vale wine region on a winters day. Wine tasting room at the top of The Cube at d' Arenberg on a winters day is like watching theatre across the topography of this wonderful wine region on a stormy day.

Had a wonderful wine tasting with Hugo. Very friendly and informative. Thank you Hugo.

A wonderful selection of wines offered for tasting.

A visit here is a must do when exploring the wonderful McLaren Vale wine region.

Earlier this month we went to visit McLaren Vale and learn a bit more about South Australia and their well known wine country
Beautiful part of Australia, nice and friendly people and of course - Great wines ! First stop was D'Arenberg Winery and that was really good experience, filled with great vistas, good quality wines and excellent food. Cube was unexpectedly interesting with all permanent artifacts but also Salvador Daly's addition made it really pleasurable. Great work organizing that!
Tried few different wines - all quite nice of course , almost hard to pick your favorite! But actually Star of the show was Food at d"Arry's Verandah Restaurant!!!
We had beef fillet with bonemarrow and phenomenal jus and Duck meal. Not sure which one was better, really tough question. Quality of our meals was just next level!!!
So, big shout to Chefs they can be proud of what they are offering there. BTW Service was also spotless, so nice friendly and natural. We would recommend to everyone!!

D’Arenberg Winery offers a wonderful range of red, pink and white wines. Art cube exhibition space currently features Salvador Dali works. Entry fee ($20) applies to art exhibits and wine tasting.

🍷A Winery That Feels Like a Fever Dream (In the Best Way)
If MONA and Willy Wonka opened a wine bar in a giant Rubik’s Cube… this would be it.
And yes—there’s real Salvador Dalí art inside.
Stick around for the levels, the wine, and the cheese (because obviously).

Useful Info:
📍 Location: 58 Osborn Rd, McLaren Vale SA
🕰️ Time Needed: Give it at least 2 hours (we stayed 3 and still weren’t done!)
🎟️ General admission: $20 which includes the tasting | $30 to include Salvador Dali exhibition
🍷 Wine to Try: The Sauvignon Blanc - green capsicum + jalapeño vibes
🧀 Food: Cheese platter and snacks available in the café on Level 3
🎨 Art: Real Salvador Dalí pieces on Level 2 + free MONA-style art on the ground floor

Great fun location to visit. We had an awesome time doing the wine blending and gin tasting. Highly recommended the wine blend if you have some time. Not sure my blend will win any awards but it’s great fun. Venue itself has lots to see and do.

Our visit to d’Arenberg was absolutely unforgettable. The Cube is a bold architectural wonder, and the current exhibition featuring Salvador Dall·E was surreal, captivating, and perfectly suited to the space — like stepping into a dreamscape of colour and imagination.

The wine tasting was a true highlight, showcasing a beautifully curated selection of wines with real personality. The staff were outstanding — knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience all the more memorable.

A must-visit in McLaren Vale. Art, wine, and hospitality at its finest — an experience that stimulates every sense.

Beautiful art in secluded hills This was a great spot as an introduction to Adelaide wineries. The grounds and artworks were amazing, the building itself beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the wine tasting as part of the ticket, there were some really lovely wines on offer! I would highly recommend to anyone, even those not interested in wine as the building was a work of art and enjoyable.

Lacks some polish but fun First impression was a lack of signage and general wear and tear.
However the views, the Verandah restaurant and the wines and cellar door choices made up.
The “Cube” is of course a stunt but crazy can be fun.
We traveled by frequent train and Uber so no need for an organised tour.

S. Australia Highlights Full Day Tour was not worth it d'Arenberg was a weird experience. Can't say having wine that tasted like Green Pepper juice was squeezed into it is my style. The tour guide we had was very negative and told us there was nothing to see at several of our stops. Was a huge turnoff. We also got to the winery and were told we had to pay extra, although none of the other guests were required to do so.

Wonderfully whimsical Long time drinker but first time visitor to D'Arenberg. Seeing what four generations can achieve is remarkable. Wine tasting followed by their degustation lunch at D'Arrys was a feast for all the senses.
Whimsical and the passion of the Osborne family is brought to life for visitors by their incredible staff who are similarly bought-in to the vision. Deep respect and admiration. A joy to visit.

It was the only winery we could go to our visit to Adelaide. The cube was an amazing museum and art gallery. When we booked the restaurant for lunch, we got an invite for free wine tasting and entry to the gallery. We were told to come 1.5 hours before lunch. I'm so glad we did because we needed that time to spend in the cube! Wine tasting on the top floor with the view was so good. Highly recommend it.

Definitely worth a visit, even if it’s just for photographs. The architecture is magnificent. There is an entrance fee to visit, which comes with complimentary wine tasting.

My wife & I enjoyed the tasting experience, we could to sample a variety of D’Arenberg wines. As with most wineries in McLaren vale, they have a huge variety of wine from rose, Pinot noirs, Grenache, Shiraz etc.

Worth a look What a cool place to visit, we did the Cube experience and Dali exhibit.
Finshing with a wine tasting.
So much to see, beautiful gardens.

Wonderful! We were a small group of 8 and from the moment we pulled up we o ew it would be a fun experience.
There is a Salvador Dali/Chagall exhibit which we unfortunately did not have time for but the influence is everywhere. There are fabulous sculptures all over and the actual winery where you have your tasting is in a cube!
Inside the cube we were given a fabulous tour by a wonderful employee that also did our wine tasting. Eceletic and funky best describes the cube and its contents. Make sure you go to the bathrooms and do not miss the men’s urinals! Hysterical.
Wine tasting was fun with a beautiful
View of the hills.
Riesling was my favourite to taste.

Lovely day-out! My friend Alison and I visited Arenberg for the Blending Bench and lunch at Singapore Circus. We had Dee for the blending bench and she was lovely and lots of fun. A great experience. We then went downstairs for lunch which was Bao at the Singapore Circus - very delish! The staff and service were exceptional. We finished the day with wine on the grass. A great day out!

Fun and quirky building This is a super fun venue! Came here on a Trailhopper tour for wine tasting. The art both inside and out is quirky. If we had more time I would have liked to do the Dali exhibition. The wine tasting was good - we felt our server was perhaps going through the motions, but not unexpected given the number of people that come through this place.

We enjoyed seeing the cube from various other places we visited during the day. A very unique building.

Superb experience. The wine tasting session was great, explained the history of naming wines to taste as flavour. Went to the restaurant after that, great food. Could recommend to anyone to go and have a try. Loved the place, loved the food and loved the people.

Loved the experience. Wine is ok not very special but the exhibition and the venue is sth that you must try if you’re visiting Adelaide. Highly recommended.
They have a lift for wheelchair access.

This place is so nice, we got to see the grape farm and see the wine tasting. There are many floors and we had a lot of fun. On of the balcony has an incredible view. There are so many different views which is so beautiful.

Great wine tasting and lunch We really enjoyed our wine tasting here principally because of the two staff members who looked after us who were very friendly, generous with their time and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The range of wines is staggering and fascinating at the same time. We really enjoyed some of the less well known varieties that are featured. The cube is such an extraordinary venue and the views across McLaren vale to the hills and the sea are beautiful. Highly recommended. We also dined at the Singapore Circus restaurant which was really good.

A different kind of Winery Not normally one to go to wineries, my friends suggested this as an experience. And it was. A combination quirky art gallery and winery, a person who goes to the Cube has a total immersive experience. I would not know whether a wine is good or not, but our hosts really liked the five we tried, especially the Dead Arm. The art is similar to going to a Meow Wolf exhibit, though it is not nearly as large. At the time a Salvador Dali exhibition was going on, and some of the Dali creations were outside so we could see them. The building is interested for architects and engineers, the art appealing for the artist, and the atmosphere - well, I would go again, even though I don’t drink wine!

I loved every second!
The place is really cool and I upgraded for the wine blend experience which I had to make by myself and it was just so nice! I felt like a chemist lol the architecture and arts inspired by Dalí is also a plus that attracts many tourists to the city of Adelaide.
10/10

BEST WINERY EVER!! This could be the best winery we have ever visited!
It gives you a unique experience from the moment you walk in n you get greeted by the beautiful Salvador Dali’s sculptures.
Once you step into the cube you get taken away by the breathtaking art work throughout all 3 levels.
Dont forget to check out the stairway & the toilets as they are an exceptional experience on their own!
We went with the basic wine tasting experience where you get 6 glasses the are conveniently filled of either whites or red wines.
I personally loved The Dry Dam from the white wines, The Pink from the Rose.
I highly recommend this winery whenever ur in Adelaide.

Looking for something different - go here. Differently worth a visit if your in McLaren Vale. Lots to look at.
We dined at Singapore Circus with friends and enjoyed the banquet. Waiter explained the food very well to us and the wine. Did the wine tasting experience after lunch.

Vintage Wine Tour We attended the Vintage Tour with Shaun
Shaun made the visit and was the most amazing host
It was fantastic to see someone who is so passionate about winemaking and the D'arenberg product
It was really nice to ave the opportunity to meet the staff and discuss their role in the winemaking process.
We learnt so much from undertaking the tour.
It was really eye opening to see the process from the vine to the final product
Shaun then gave us the most amazing wine tasting experience.
We are already looking forward to our next visit

Our visit to d'Arenberg Winery and Restaurant was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Beginning with a delightful wine tasting session in the cube, where we sampled a diverse array of d'Arenberg's exceptional wines, to the captivating exhibition of Salvador Dali's artwork, and culminating in a feast of exquisite cuisine at the restaurant, every moment was filled with wonder and delight. The seamless integration of wine, art, and culinary expertise makes d'Arenberg a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly unique and memorable outing.

Your next visit: d'Arenberg Cube! Very unique place, combining wine, art paintings, sculptures made this place absolutely fabulous! Even the toilets were unlike anything else, simply beautiful!

What a amazing Winery this is, with its Dali exhibition located on the second floor of this four floor arts building.
The winery also offers food on the Singapore gallery, and wine tastings on the top floor.
It's well worth the visit.

Iconic building with great wine. Confusing art display. Modern artistic icon. Confusing art display at ground level exhibition. Unable to understand theme or any concept of the galary. Good wine.

Fabulous d'Arenberg and its Cube not only lived up to, but exceeded my expectations. Nothing else in this country comes close for a unique winery experience. Surprises at every turn. It helps to like Salvador Dali and Chester Osborn's eccentricities of course!

Nice views and worth seeing then Cube Very busy and commercial when we visited either. Not keen on the wine wither. Unfortunately I can’t recommend. Very disappointed with our visit

Very interesting building with many things to do. Food is delicious with Asian fusion taste.

Dali at d'arenberg Dali sculptures and views from tasting room top floor were both amazing experiences. Wine fabulous

Spectacular cellar door inside an art house cube building! Definitely the most flamboyant cellar door we've ever been to with an art house cube building which includes the Salvador Dali exhibition. Over 70 wines made with very clever names which adds to the appeal. The premium reds were excellent and there is a good back vintage selection for purchase to enhance the home vertical tasting experience. The toilets are fascinating but a bit confusing to get into. Definitely worth a visit for the spectacle, if bit the wine.

Highly recommended to see this place if you’re in Adelaide. The atmosphere is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Top wines in the McLaren Vale. Good Lunch but may be overpriced. Definitely cheaper than some of the other wineries.we enjoyed the day trip. You must visit the ground floor visual Show.

Pricey We were excited to see the Dali exhibition and were prepared to do long drive from the city to get there.
The cube is somewhat out of place and assume a folly of the rich owners.
Entry fee was steep considering who does wine tasting first thing in the morning and surcharge to actually see the Dali section was frustrating.

Worth seeing the exhibit as a one off but not a repeat visit.

Love it, Love it , love it! This is the place we always bring out overseas and interstate visitors. Allow a couple of hours and make sure you don't miss the Dali level. Georgina who works in the gallery always looks after our friends and has a great knowledge about the art on display. Thanks for making us welcome once again.

What a absolute awesome experience. We did the dead arm tasting and I cannot praise the knowledge, professionalism and naturally the great wines and the view from top of the Cube enough. This is a must see and do. Also a must do is the gallery,it's like falling down into the rabbit hole and waking up in Wonderland.

Nice experience for a large winery We had quite a pleasant visit to the The Cube. Relatively inexpensive. We had a general tasting & added the Dali exhibition since we previously visited the Dali museum in Figueroa. Even though it was a Sat just before lunch with a busy tasting room, they made sure they got us some space to prop. We felt relatively un - rushed. The lady who served us waited till we had time to taste before moving on to the next wine on the list. Even added a couple of wines not on the list at the end. Frankly, I thought we might be rushed at a large winery,so pleasantly surprised. Ordered a couple of bottles and moved on to the Dali exhibition. We were puzzled that we could have a Dali exhibition here in McLaren Vale. It was soon explained that Dali arranged for some of his works to be replicated with limited qty of each. So all the items in there were labelled as such. Learn something new everyday, right? Overall, quite a nice experience.

Great Building & Dali Art to Ponder (and Buy!) A Quirky Building with some exceptional art and in particular, the Dali displays. Whether you are a fan of Dali or not, this is a place to visit for no other reason than to enjoy the quirky design of the building and the art it contains. Aimed at the wine lovers but some great artistic interpretations inside are delightful.

We really liked the experience, totally worths $20 entrance fee, the somilie gave us a lot of different types of vine to taste, the first floor is also really cool with all the art. 4 stars because the "Dali" exhibition has 0 original artwork, so selling it for 50k feels like a scam

Wines with amazing bouquets & colours, not inexpensive. Thought provoking artworks, if not a touch macabre. Creating a playful atmosphere. Dalli being quite risque & abit imaginarlly warped. Magnificent rolling hills, clean air & vineyard landscape. Good idea to book ahead.
Quite a few Aboriginal indigenous artefacts tucked away getting damaged. Please give them some care & hung appropriately for viewing. There are not so many original pieces & such left.

Most overrated attraction Tacky and pretentious.

The 'museum' and 'art gallery's are ok ame

The wines are awful and the food in the Singapore Circus is bland

Not worth visiting

A once in a lifetime experience at d'Arenberg Cube Our visit to d'Arenberg was a highlight of our 6 week South Australian car trip. We loved the quirkiness of the building and everything in and around it. We could have spent a whole day exploring the contemporary art museum, the Dali Exhibition, and all there was to see and experience. Our admission price included a standard wine tasting which was generous and the person looking after us was knowledge and professional but extremely friendly. This experience was exceptional value for money and the wines were beautiful.

Definitely place to visit if You're getting to the one of the main wine region in South-Australia.
How ever their perfection in work and community is settled I'll find that their environment is balanced out in such a fabulous way with cube house and art. Wine could be overpriced in some sense on the market but once in a lifetime it's definitely worth to visit and see over the vineyards and taste their ancient style of foot trod or basket pressed wines.
Thank You!

Must do when visiting Adelaide Situated in McLaren Vale, the Cube is a must see. It is $20 to enter and this includes a wine tasting of at least 6 of the D’Arenberg range. The staff are helpful and informative even if a bit slow with the tasting, but we weren’t in a hurry so that didn’t matter. There is some amazing pieces of artwork and very wacky and weird over all the floors. We caught the lift up and went down the stairs to explore more. There are 2 restaurants on site, one being Asian. There is a gallery on one floor which you have to pay an extra $10 that is dedicated to Dali and other surrealist artists. To be honest, I’m a huge Dali fan and was expecting a lot more so was disappointed. There is a really cool video on the ground floor that has video’s on the names of all the wines. You have to check out the bathrooms the are fabulous! Outside there is a small gallery the Archers Arcadia which has interactive sideshow pieces.
D’Arenberg is definitely worth visiting.

Over rated and over priced..... Too expensive just to get in . Over rated and over priced and too many people! Not worth it when there are SO many other great places and wineries in McLaren Vale to see and go to and visit. Don't bother .
Awful experience.
