Located just a 20-minute drive from Sea Dunes Luxury Apartments in Moana, the d'Arenberg Cube in McLaren Vale offers a unique blend of art, architecture, and wine. This five-storey, Rubik's Cube-inspired building stands amidst the vineyards, providing visitors with an immersive and unconventional winery experience.
Architectural Marvel
Conceived by Chief Winemaker Chester Osborn, the d'Arenberg Cube reflects the complexities of winemaking through its intricate design. Each level is meticulously crafted to engage the senses, featuring a wine sensory room, virtual fermenter, and a 360-degree video room. The building's distinctive geometric structure and double-tempered glass facades create an optical illusion of floating above the vineyards, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Art and Wine Fusion
Visitors are encouraged to explore the Alternate Realities Museum on the ground floor, which houses numerous art installations designed to challenge perceptions and stimulate the senses. The top floor hosts the tasting room, where guests can sample a selection of d'Arenberg's acclaimed wines, including their signature Shiraz and Grenache varietals.
Culinary Delights
Within the Cube, the Singapore Circus restaurant offers a menu inspired by South-East Asian cuisine, providing a vibrant dining experience that complements the winery's eclectic atmosphere.
