3 months agoOur 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.

a month agoI 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

5 months agoWhat 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.

4 months agoWhat 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.
