About
d'Arenberg is one of McLaren Vale's most celebrated estates, run by the Osborn family since 1912 and now in its fourth generation under winemaker Chester Osborn. Selected estate and leased vineyards are ACO Certified for both organic and biodynamic processes, and the winery holds Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA) certification against the Freshcare Standard. The range spans reds, whites, rosé, sparkling, dessert, and fortified wines — including the iconic red-stripe label bottles — along with alternative varieties. On-site you'll find d'Arry's Verandah Restaurant, the extraordinary d'Arenberg Cube housing the Alternate Realities Museum, a Salvador Dalí bronze sculpture garden, and blending bench experiences at the cellar door.
