Vé di động

One of the most significant wineries in McLaren Vale, d’Arenberg was established in 1912 when Joseph Osborn, a teetotaler and director of Thomas Hardy and Sons, sold his stable of prize winning horses to purchase the property that now houses the winery, cellar door and d’Arry’s Verandah Restaurant. Today, fourth generation family member Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery. With over 60 wines and 25 different grape varieties, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

A hands on, interactive experience where you play winemaker, then take home a bottle of your favourite blend. Working with three barrel samples of single vineyard wine, each with distinctive flavours, you are guided through the blending process to create your own personalised Shiraz. The physical work is done, the picking, fermenting, foot treading and basket pressing, now you have the opportunity to create something truly unique. Once you’ve selected your final blend, you bottle a 750ml sample and take home to show off to your friends.

We started at the blending bench with our host Mike which was fun then headed to to the next floor to have some lunch and cocktails and wine we then went to check out the art museum on the first floor which was educational. And finished our day walking out with some bottles of wine. Th views are wonderful and the cube is quirky, fun and unique with a really good vibe. The toilets are definitely a talking point 😊
Very average service

The d'Arenberg is quirky, all round great place to visit. We booked online, so a small queue on arrival. Wine tasting was great and we even bought some bottles, we also pre-booked a two course lunch, fabulous food and the the Dali exhibition is excellent. Everywhere you look at d'Arenberg there is something to see. Pre book, it was really busy. We loved it.
Fun and sooo interesting

What an unexpected quirky place to visit!! My family and I enjoyed our time at d'Arenberg. The kids enjoyed looking around whilst hubby and I did the wine tasting. Only downfall was not being able to have a tasting platte in the restaurant as the menu had recently changed and there wasn't a great deal on there that interested us at the time.
It’s randomly remarkable and a must visit

It’s one of those creations of a genius that had shown persistence against the norm. The service, the food and quality of ambiance is exceptional. Tip, you have to have a meal here and spend at least 2 hours to truly enjoy the place.
A must!

We attended the Wine Blending experience and it was an amazing experience from the top of the Cube. The view was amazing and it was interesting to learnt he history of the company and site whilst learning a little about the art of wine blending. I think we came away with 3 nice wines that were perfectly suited to our individual tastes - time will tell! Quirky and fun location
Great experience with some operational flaws

Great building, superb decor, great wines. Amir was fantastic in the delivery of the tasting and customer service. I would just say that the $15 tasting not spendable on product is a highly priced for the experience. Yes there’s the museum but it’s not an aspect that enhances the dining experience enough to overcharge. Also the supervisor Emma is quite rude.

Great experience to take part in the Blending Bench. It was a different experience instead of just going to the tasting room and sipping wines. Lets hope our bottles are as good when we open them at home.
