The d'Arenberg Cube

#australiatrip This place is amazing! Four levels full of flavours, fun and fantasy. The 360 degree views are breathtaking. We started on the fourth level with a tasting flight of 12 wines and each one carried its own distinct style. Then we made our way down to the incredible Dali exhibition. One piece of his works is usually enough to challenge your visual and emotional capacity, but this space is full of dozens of abstract and surreal perceptions and creations. If that isn't enough the "alternate realities" space on the lower level is a fun parlour of sights, sounds and experiences!
