Great day out - The cube is well worth a visit; apart from the quirky art displays the view from the tasting room is spectacular.

Great way to spend a day - A full day - not rushed and all places visited were wonderful with great staff too. Visitor information centre was first up - with an excellent gift shop and even better cafe! Surprisingly great coffee and muffins - and I’m fussy…. Would definitely return!

The day just gets better as it goes on - The cube was the least impressive stop we made; we still enjoyed how quirky the cube was. From a wine experience lens, the wives at the cube matched my palette the least but the wineries improved along the way. Such a wonderful day! Very glad we booked.

Surreal Cube experience. - The Cube is a unique building with some amazing pieces of artwork, even the gents toilet is colourfully artistic.
The wines all have quirky names and the tasting was very good.
Lovely lunch and tasting at Chalk Hill winery.
This was my third trip with tour guide Chris and again his excellent knowledge of McLaren Vale and the wineries added much to the whole experience.
Gin tasting at Beresford estate winery was another great experience.

Could be extended - Great tour but a little rushed.. would be better with less morning tea time or none, to allow longer time at wineries and cube
