Tasting at the Tasty Cube. The d'Arenburg winery.

The Cube is stunning!


What an incredible feat of imagination not to mention construction and implementation.
Probably people told him he was crazy! Why bother? It doesn't suit...

But what a vision!
And you know what?

It works!

On average 1000 people visit every day.
It is open every day, and the weekends are understandably busy.
If I were you I'd go early on a Tuesday.

The cube was imagined by the winemaker at d'Arenburg winery - Chester Osborn.
Yeah, it's a funky Rubic's cube and inside is just as funky.

There's a room where you can smell all the aromas of wine.




The smells are in glass flasks attached to old bike handlebars operated with bike horns.


There is an art collection.



 You have to see the toilets!


 It's a bit hard to see but the circles are mirrors.





The tasting room is on the top floor.



It was very busy, but we felt well attended to.


The wine names are as quirky as you would expect.


There were a lot of these bright chairs. Love!



I can see your caravan from here!


You can buy a single version of this chair made out of old wine barrels.


You can find The Cube at the d'Arenburg Vineyard, Osborn Road, Mclaren Vale, South Australia.
It's open every day 10am - 5pm.
Costs $10 pp to get in including wine tasting.
