Barbara_H - 5/5
Our driver/guide, Toby, was extremely patient and kind. He went out of his way at the Information bureau to find me the best maps and booklets. Utterly superb 5 * lunch at The Cube. The Cube art gallery and restaurant/bar must be South Australia’s best keep secret, and must be flaunted. It was superb. The vineyards were also very generous with tasting. The van was very comfortable. Excellent trip. The best.

The Cube, a mini Hobart MONA, was excellent to look through and peruse the unusual art, wine tasting and food were also good as well. For the whole day we could have done one less wine tasting, but overall a very enjoyable and worthwhile day.

Pleasant day. Good morning tea at the visitor centre. Amir at the cube was a sensational guide for our tour and wine tasting. The 2 wineries after the cube were very nice. Overall a good experience however would probably prefer to do the cube not on a tour
