Skip the cube
Christine_P, July 2023
Athol our driver was lovely, very knowledgeable and friendly!! the bus clean and always ready and waiting for us, Athol was only to happy to help ! the visitor center with coffee and muffin (delicious) was perhaps a tad too long and if we had cut off time here and the D'arenburg cube i think other winemakers we visited would have not felt so rushed.
the cube whilst a great novelty was "all fur coat and no knickers" didn't understand the random video they showed and the wine tasting was very clinical and not at all friendly, there was no deviation to the tasting at all (if they had offered a sparkling i would have considered buying) but the girl who did it was brusque and rude. (a view evidenced by not one of the entire group bought here)
Chalks Hill by contrast was warm friendly and the ambience was next level, they asked us what our preferences were and bought out other wines we may like to taste out, the pizzas were delicious as too were the wines (i joined their wine club 🤷🏼♀️) Onto Beresford -again great host and wines/gin.... would have loved a bit more time here for tasting) and finally Wira Wira - great tour and lovely friendly hosts, really would have loved spending more time here!!!
Whilst i know the cube is a novelty the other wineries were much more friendly and frankly i thought much better wines, definitely would recommend a McClaren Vale wine tour, and will be visiting all (bar D'arenburg) again
Explore and be delighted

All the wineries visited were world renowned and very well run and very friendly full of information. It made a wonderful day
Great Day, Great Service and Great Company

Whilst the excursions were great, one item had been changed without any notification to us that the Lunch at the d'Arenberg Cube had been deleted from the itinerary and would be available at another winery. The replacement lunch was fine, but we had been looking forward to the original itinerary of lunch at the Cube. Had we been advised of the change we may have chosen to seek another tour.
Fun and entertaining

Roger did a great job keeping us informed and entertained throughout the journey. He is thoughtful and keep the time well and proper. Thanks!
The Cube plus wine tasting.
Christine_W, Dec 2022
This was a very expensive trip for what it was. Unless you really enjoy drinking lots of wine and don't mind limited options for lunch then I suggest you find a different tour. Really enjoyed seeing the cube but we wish we had just got a rental car and done our own trip. The driver, Athol, spent most of the driving part talking to the two front seat passengers...he could have engaged with the other passengers! The Wirrawirra winery was a great experience - great guide there.
D’Arenberg Cube Small Group - Enjoyable Day Tour
Rosemary_P, Nov 2022
D’Arenberg Cube very interesting & entertaining due to architecture, interior design, & associated artworks.
Visited 3 wineries including the Cube, & all very different, educational & delightful.
Small group of pleasant people & nice knowledgeable driver - Athol. Morning tea at cafe was basic muffin & a paper cup of coffee, & meal at the Cube was underheated, therefore not 5 stars. Good tour if you strike a dodgy weather day - inside a lot. A very enjoyable day tour.
Wirra Wirra
Lou_P, July 2022
The Cube and Wirra Wirra were highlights of a very lovely way to spend a day in McLaren Vale. Guided tours and tastings really well done.
A must see is the Cube & winery tour!
John_A, June 2022
D’Arnberg winery the Cube whole experience ! The art & quirky items were fabulous. Kim who conducted our tastings there was great. Wirra Wirra winery also good.
Informative
Michael_M, May 2022
The driver, Mike was great, his knowledge and passion for Adelaide shone through. Not a fault of the tour operator, the weather spoilt the afternoon. A lot of the shops were closed, Monday and Tuesday's.
But, thanks Mike for your commentary.
The best trip listed.
Barbara_H, May 2022
Our driver/guide, Toby, was extremely patient and kind. He went out of his way at the Information bureau to find me the best maps and booklets. Utterly superb 5 * lunch at The Cube. The Cube art gallery and restaurant/bar must be South Australia’s best keep secret, and must be flaunted. It was superb. The vineyards were also very generous with tasting. The van was very comfortable. Excellent trip. The best.
