This is a very interesting winery, had lunch and a premium wine tasting session followed by some wine purchasing. Some great views with amazing restaurant food selection. We all enjoyed our experience, mostly promote red wines as this is in the McLaren Vale. The service was fantastic and the complete experience of viewing the different levels of the cube was next to none and very unique.

Great views and really amazing wine.
A big shout out to Danielle. She was rushed off her feet and still gave us 10/10 customer service. Full of knowledge and very friendly. Thanks!

I have been wanting to visit for a while, the added bonus of Salvador Dali art got me there.
Limited time on the day - no time to eat or taste wine
It was very busy when we arrived (2pm on a Monday) - the art experience in the cube was excellent! A few minor criticisms - the last room of art on the way out, nothing is labelled so you cant tell who any of the artists are.
The space were the Salvador Dali art was presented isnt a great space for art to be displayed - the walls and ceiling were busy and it was difficult to see some art at the required distance.
I would recommend the cube experience- go at a quiet time if possible.
I hope to go back and do food and wine another time.

Amazing, absolutely gorgeous and a very unique experience.

I can't give it 5 stars due to the average service on the 4th story in addition to not quite enjoying the wine in comparison to its neighbours (competitors)

We had the degustation lunch in the Cube yesterday and the food (and food service) was magnificent. The experience was spoilt by several aspects. We were seated away from the other guests on the opposite side of the cube near the entrance and bar. We felt rather isolated and "second class" eating with the staff. This was made worse by the attitude of the sommelier. He seemed to look down his nose at us and was unable (or unwilling) to articulate the differences in the wine packages. All he said was one of the packages was "standard" and the other was from "further afield" so without really understanding what he was offering, we chose the standard pairing package. To add insult to injury, we were charged extra for the coffee at the end of the meal. It was only $6 which seemed rather petty when paying just under $650 for the meal and wine.

An incredible location, and a famous Old Name in Australian wine. We visited on Easter Saturday and it was rammed, not the friendliest atmosphere. I'm sure it would be lovely at quieter times. A good selection to try at their cellar door, more than most places, and surely something to suit most tastes. Pricey though.

Went on a Thursday afternoon and wasn't too busy. We had a positive and pleasant experience. Staff warmly greeted us upon arrival and the lady who served our wine tasting made an effort to be friendly. I didn't mind pay the $10 entry free as it included wine tasting, but I feel sorry for people who bring their kids aged 2 and older and are expected to still cough up the $10 fee... Now that's just a rip off. Otherwise the wine that was for sale was ok- I even bought a bottle of the sparkling. Allow 45mins-1hr to have a look around.

The building outside is so gram worthy. Definitely worth visiting. The wine tasting experience for $10 was a good choice because we got a big selection of wines with a beautiful view. The service from Jackson was amazing, he was very patient and told us all about the wine itself. The toilet was very cute and definitely worth the visit.

Beautiful setting at the Winery estates. Great architecture design and enjoy the atmosphere with family. Great lookouts on top of the building. $10 entry fee per adult with wine tasting. A bit expensive for child's fare which is $10 as well. No family deal.

Dissatisfaction to the extreme.

Dissatisfaction to the extreme.
Got dizzy and felt ill after watching the movie and didn't enjoy the art. I'm usually open minded but I felt we could of saved the 20 bucks on the entry fee and enjoyed fish and chips and free entertainment on Maslin Beach.

Wow, it s an experience! The staff were very welcoming and so helpful & friendly, even though it was really busy. Hot tip - visit either first thing in the morning or late arvo to avoid the buses. Make sure you visit the bathrooms - amazing! Don t think you re going to get into the restaurant anytime soon, perhaps try the Verandah.

The degustation menu was amazing. Flavours were awesome. Very enjoyable dining looking out into rolling wine yard hills. Love the quirky decor.

Our lunch there lasted 4 hours. Stairway to the toilets were interesting - love the unusual pictures.
