    A building with a unique architecture. It has got wine tasting, a cafe, museum, and a gallery respectively in the floors. Entry fee is $15 per person. Open all 7 days but closes at 4.30pm. Has ample enough parking. The tour around the building will take 45mins to 1 hour. You need to make a booking prior to ensure you are not left behind. Outside the building you could see the winery, production plant, and most importantly a great open yard to sit and enjoy the scenary.

    Wines with amazing bouquets & colours, quiet expensive. 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.

    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.

    Great experience visiting the Cube. The art exhibition in level 2 is definitely worthwhile to visit. The wine tasting experience on level 4 is interesting. We enjoyed the lunch so much at the D'Arenburg veranda restaurant. The food and service were amazing. It locates next to the Cube. We had so many fine dining experience in the past. I would rate the food there on the top notch. No hesitation to recommend 3 course meal. The lobster entree and Souffle signature desert are the must try dishes.

    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.

    What a beautiful winery and the artistic flair amazing. We went into the museum and they had a great exhibition on for Salvador Dalí. It was an afternoon well spent and their restaurant offers some great food if you're hungry! It's a must visit if you're in the area. A great experience.

    The building is in the shape of Rubik’s cube and it’s full of fun day inside. The exhibit and the wine tasting on the top floor is exquisite. Don’t miss to go the toilets there😜.

    My partner and I attended for the Blending Bench (check website for details), an event which walked us through the fine details of wine tasting and also taught us how to make our own wine. Price of the ticket included the $15 entry fee and was a delightful experience. The man who ran the event was friendly, happy and very accommodating to new comers. About the winery. The architecture is a stand out. As other posts mentioned, it is intended to be a stand out attraction of the vale and is growing to be just that. The gardens and surrounds are filled with steel sculpture, with the entrance to the building lined by two massive works by the late and renowned Picasso. The interior takes the artists personality as it’s own, with a very quirky decor (the bathrooms in particular). Wine tasting on the 4th (top) floor with vantage balcony’s facing N, S, E, W. Nibbles on the 3rd floor until late afternoon. 2nd floor is a gallery of Picasso works and is an additional $10 entry fee. Building accommodates disability access to all spaces.

    Lovely views from the amazing structure. There is art everywhere (check out the lavs!), and the Dali exhibition is a treat with the addition of Sydney artist, Billich (wow!). Lovely wines and a good tasting experience

    Today I visited d‘Arenberg for two reasons: good wine and outstanding art. Needless to say that my expectations were satisfied beyond the ordinary. Thank you Kim for explaining me every single wine and sharing the stories about the area and the owner. The art gallery by Dali is superb. What a genius.

    Bought the tickets for museum and wine tasting, super affordable only 15 bucks per person. Museum was very intriguing, there's a surprise at every corner. Tells the history of wine making in the region. Wine tasting is on the fourth flour with a lookout of the winery. Amazing view as you try your wine. There is also an exhibition for Salvador Dali's works but we could not find time to go

    D'Arenberg is a fantastic way to enjoy food, wine, and art when you're visiting Adelaide. We enjoyed the immersive art on Level 1, awed by Salvatore Dali and Burchill's talents on Level 2, refuelled for coffee and food in Level 3 and tasted an assortment of exquisite wines and magnificent views of the vineyards on Level 4. A must-see in South Australia.

    Worth a visit if you’re checking out wineries in the area. Intriguing building filled with a whole lot of quirky bits and bobs. Very popular, so it does get cramped during peak hours to the detriment of the wine tasting experience (book ahead!) which we felt was a bit rushed/transactional. A much more commercial experience than the other wineries we visited.

    Very iconic winery in the McLaren vale. Very quirky interior too. Entrance to the cube costs around $15 however this does include wine tasting too. Surrounding grounds are quite pretty too.

    Amazing. The food, atmosphere, service. Amazing. Really enjoyed the full menu. I am normally not a fan of tuna, but their tuna dish was really nice. The stand out dishes for me were the Lamb and Lobster dishes. I did not get a chance to see the gallery in the cube, I’ll definitely revisit for the food again, and see the gallery than.

    What an interesting winery/museum/gallery! Have been wanting to visit this for awhile now. To look at Salvador Dali’s painting and art. Worth the drive and you can see a lot more inside. Got to pay $15 for the entrance which paid off for the wine tasting. If you are looking into the painting that is +$10. Wines were amazing! If you are in the area, 100% would recommend this winery. There is restaurant located in the area and on the 2nd floor.

    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

    As a part of my Sperm Donation Australia tour of South Australia 🇦🇺 I spent a day exploring the lovely Mclaren Vale area, this was my fourth stop of the day and was time for lunch I had the Lobster for entree and the flavours were delicious for my main, I had the beef which was nice and tender. After lunch, I explored the cube, which was a unique must do experience. I got to top it off with a wine tasting amazing views with great wine.

  • 4/5 Travis L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was fantastic. The dessert delicious. The service interesting. We were greeted with They are Just having the a la carte menu. Oh sorry for not having degaustation. Then our starter was delivered with a description delivered at the speed of sound and a farewell of arrivederci. But we just got here... OK.

    Hmm 🤔. Not sure what to say. I visited based on reviews and recommendations of others. As a winery, great. It is obviously very popular....likely due to the cube design of the main building, which is truly worth a look. From the start, we found the art displays rather dark and / or erotic in theme. I am certainly not prudish, but could not connect the art to the winery theme. Maybe it's just me. The four floors are cramped..... with stuff. The tasting floor balconies do provide nice views of the surrounding vineyards. All in all, it's worth a visit.....if for no more than to make your own assessment. I've given a 4 star rating; two stars for it's place as a winery, and two stars for it's unique quirkiness.

  • 5/5 Scott J. 1 year ago on Google
    d'Arenberg DEFINITELY deserves 5 stars. What an incredible place to visit in McLaren Vale. We did however dine at the Singapore Circus and if I was to give that a rating, it'd be a 4-4.5 out of 5. Overall quite delicious and the service was good. Favourites were the eggplant, pork, petite fours, donuts and the chicken skewers. Just needs that bit more to get a 5.

  • 5/5 Steven T. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesing cellar door with Salvatore Dali art museum. The wine is good and easy to drink. The museum adds a fun quirky touch. It’s a fun place to visit as a tourist. Book ahead of you want to do a tasting or dine in their restaurant. Your tasting is not at a set time, you can show up around the time you booked.

    What an awesome place to spend several hours. Lots of art pieces to see and experience. Truly a must see in Adelaide. Loved the Reubern sandwich.

  • 5/5 Payal L. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place for the environment, wine tasting and the art exhibition!! The toilet doors are just too beautiful and I'm sure people who have been there exactly know what I mean 😉

  • 5/5 Anna S. 5 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Tim S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an incredible experience. The wine blending, the artistry, the staff, everything was taken with such attention to detail and such care. I'd highly suggest doing the full tasting experience and also suggest trying the fortified wines
