While it is a bit gimmicky and a bit of a tourist trap, it is, indeed, different and unique, so if you're looking for something off the beaten path, this may be up your alley. You pay $15 entry fee just to see the inside of the building, resembling a twisted rubik's cube (they currently have a Salvador Dali sculpture exhibit which you can pay an additional $10 to see), and there is a bottom floor of... strange, modern, occasionally-creepy art. Then you go up to the top floor for tastings, which allows you to try the whole menu. On the plus side, there is a nice variety of styles and varietals here, including more unique ones like sparkling chambourcin and naturally fermented sagrantino. On the other hand, none of the wines were really stand-outs to me, thus we didn't buy any (their high-end shiraz was good, but not worth the $100+ pricetag) Still, an interesting place to visit and experience, so I'm glad we gave it a try. read more

This is a must see site at the moment. Wonderful top floor tasting room but its a bit annoying with $200 AUD dinner options or vip bar corners. We had 3 servers assisting us - one was worthless and others ok. Consider food at cafe and avoid ripoff. Entry $10 to enter cube. read more

The D'Arenberg Cube Osborne Rd McLaren Vale S.A. The D'Arenberg Cube situated in the McLaren Vale wine area, is absolutely so different, it confronts your sensors on several levels. The architecture is different, yet compelling. Walking through inside is well worth the effort with a $10 admission fee, but this includes some excellent wines to sample/taste. We enjoyed a very nice dinner in their well appointed restaurant. (Reservations essential)The service was excellent, even though there were a large number of visitors viewing. A major tourist attraction for South Australia. read more

I have had the pleasure of going to this restaurant and cellar door a few times . The restaurant has been one of the top locations to eat in Adelaide for a number of years. The food is sublime.. I can recommend the lobster ravioli as entree, the passion fruit soufflé for desert was amazing. The views from the restaurant are beautiful. It's a nice compact restaurant, would make a beautiful treat for a birthday of anniversary. read more

You have to go see the cube, don't you? It certainly stands out amongst the vineyards of McLaren Vale. From outside, it looks really cool. You can just imagine what awaits inside...but you would be wrong. Very very wrong. There is nothing inside, on any of the levels, that was worth the $10 entry charge. But maybe you should go and pay your tenner, just to see what I mean, because it's hard to believe, and harder to describe. If you do make it to the tasting room, the staff appear well trained, and the wine is ok. It's very touristy but the views are lovely. Overall, tacky. read more

Really Good! Went to the wine tastings while waiting for our table in the restaurant. Member of staff friendly and knowledgeable. Nice glasses used for the tasting which made all the difference. read more

This is possibly the best winery restaurant in McLaren Vale. And I think they know it - they have a new multi-storey function and events centre under construction. The food at the restaurant was spectacular - there were four of us and everyone had an incredible meal. Prices are consistent with what you would expect for this kind of quality ($25-$35 range for mains), but the portion size was more than adequate. We were all stuffed by the end. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking. Most tables are next to the window and there is a (heated) outdoor section as well. There is no charge for tasting at the cellar door for most varieties, but they have a premium selection that will cost you $10 to taste all of those. I've been told they book up at around two weeks in advance, so I'd say a booking is essential, especially on a weekend. We were there on a Friday and we just managed to squeeze in. read more

Absolutely the best wine and winery in the McLaren Vale! If you go on a nice day or during the holidays be prepared to wait a little bit if you want to taste their wines because it's probably going to be buzzing with people. However, once you get to the front of the bar, service is extremely quick and friendly. They let you taste everything you want apart from one wine that sells for around 600 bucks as far as I remember. I recommend trying the Love Grass 2009 Shiraz and the 2008 Shiraz Viognier, both fantastic reds. Overall, they're on the pricey side (depending on what you're after) but the quality is great. They also have a restaurant next door, focusing on French cuisine by the looks of it. It seems to be pretty good and famous because I've heard of it on multiple occasions. Oh, and it's fully booked till April apparently. read more

An absolutely amazing art and wine experience. Set in McLaren Vale beautiful Australian scenery. You must go completely through the cube completely especially the bathrooms. We mostly drank wine but ate at Polly's which you can build you're own platter. Must see. read more

It's hard not to love visiting this cellar door. They are one of the most significant Mclaren Vale producers and have one of the biggest selections of high quality (delicious) wine for tasting in the area. d'Arenberg is what you would call a medium size producer and they're big enough to enjoy a little bit of flexibility in their wine production. This means that as well as producing the table standard favourites, the stump jumps, Footbolt Shiraz, Olive Grove Chardonnay, Feral Fox Pinot Noir (the list goes on), they also have the luxury of creating some phenomenal food wines with slightly less varietal quaffing appeal. ie. they are not financially bound to solely make wines which are in vogue which is where we see the uniqueness and creativity in the d'Arenberg portfolio. The last ditch viognier and the money spider Rousanne (a grape popular amongst those in the know down in Mclaren Vale) are a dream for restaurantuers looking for good food wines to match. If you're into stickies d'Arenderg also has a range for you to choose from... from the noble mud pie, to the noble prankster and more. Tawnys and fortifieds abound also! Christmas time, pick yourself up a bottle of the Peppermint paddock chamboucin to fulfil the sparkling red requirements, you're sure to be delighted! read more

I've been to most of the wineries in Maccy Vee's but thus far had not made it too d'Arenbergs. Well, that was my mistake. Nestled close to come other lovely places (Tapestry is also a must) the scenery is beautiful and the staff took their time with us, discussed with us about various wines and gave us plenty of tastings from the single vineyard Shiraz collections. Personally I think they might go a bit overboard on those, but who am I to judge, let's see how they perform in the bottle over 20 years! But, the cheaper (read $18 to $20) table wines are surprisingly good, and the Coppermine Cabernet is worth a visit on its own. Their nostalgia port also gets you where you need to go. read more

Wow what a place. We spent the day at D'Arenberg winery at McLaren Vale, utilized the stables for a work meeting then lunch at the restaurant. Food was superb, wine stunning and the staff went out of their way to make sure our day was fantastic. You must drop in. read more

A bit cheaky being in the list twice, as the same as before to noisy, not a pleasant experience at all

Such a range and well organised tasting area. The grape variety and imaginative pairings makes tasting a long pleasurable experience. If you feel peckish, pop into the restaurant for lunch before continuing the tasting. read more
