Fox Creek Winery is my favorite winery in McLaren Vale. Their Vixen Sparkling Shiraz and other wines are excellent and I always use them for functions and entertaining.

We had a great visit to the cellar door and winery tour with Jonathan. He was fantastic- knowledgeable and informative - he spent more than 2 hours with the 4 of us. Taking us through the historic property dating back to the early 1800s and vineyard with some of the regions oldest vines. We also enjoyed the wine tasting great wines in the cellar and again Jonathan provided interesting commentary and insights to the wines. We all recommend a visit to Langmeil.

Jess provided an interesting and entertaining insight in to some of the history of the beautiful Barossa. The stories of locals, recent and distant, were certainly heartfelt, and roused an underlying interest in the history of our young nation The sharing of fresh fruit from the farm’s trees was the “icing on the cake” on the cake for us! Thank you Jess for your honesty, generosity and trusting us to witness the strength and vulnerability of Krondorf residents past and present

We visited to specifically purchase Alicante Bouche. However, after sampling a few of the other wines on offer we purchased other varieties too. The wines are delicious and the staff provided us with some great insights into their wine making processes. The cellar door is in a beautiful heritage building which adds to the whole experience Would definitely recommend that you visit.

A visit to our Wine Room will see our Wine Room Ambassadors guide you through our wines and introduce you to our story. The landscaped grounds framed by the Wine Room and the historic clock tower are the perfect spot to explore before throwing a picnic rug down and enjoying one of our delicious Coopers Board in the Barossa’s warm sun.

d'Arenberg

The idea to build the d'Arenberg Cube came to Chief Winemaker Chester Osborn in 2003. Inspired by the complexities and puzzles of winemaking, Chester created the idea of a cube-shaped building. Each of the five levels have been carefully designed to entice and excite the senses, including features such as a wine inhalation room, a virtual fermenter, a 360degree video room, and many other tactile experiences. Visitors are encouraged to explore the Alternate Realities Museum, located on the ground floor, and view the many art installations on display. The tasting room is located on the top floor, and is open 7 days a week 10am - 5pm.

Reviewed By kylez_182 - Bentleigh, Australia

We were a little concerned that this place had been too hyped up and overrated but it was actually an amazing experience even for me who doesn't actually enjoy wine all that much. The cube is impressive and it's worth just going to get a photo. But I can also highly recommend the tastings on the top floor. Our wine guy James was super friendly, really attentive and engaging, and made it feel like quiet a personal experience even when there were so many people around in the tasting room. I recommend getting there first thing in the morning otherwise it gets super busy. When we left there were people having to line up to get in. And I wouldn't bother with the gallery. Just pay the $15 for the rest of the experience and it should be a pretty enjoyable time!
