d'Arenberg

McLaren Vale, Australia

#32 World's Best Vineyard 2024
Best Vineyard in Australasia

Listen carefully as you approach this Rubik’s Cube-inspired winery and you’ll hear the sound of weather transformed into wavelengths being pumped from speakers dotted amongst the Mourvèdre vines encircling you. It’s not for your benefit but to cheer up the grapes, much like the garden gnomes also residing amongst the plants and inspiring some of the quirkier-named bottles. Create your own with a ‘Blending Bench’ experience on the top floor of the mirrored new facility teeming with psychedelic theatricals, or honour the organic and biodynamic estate’s 109-year heritage with fine dining at d’Arry’s, within the original nineteenth century homestead. You’ll certainly never leave bored.
