Penfolds Launches ‘Venture Beyond’ Experience with Oceanic Theme in Malaysia 

Following its successful tours in Thailand and Singapore, Penfolds’ “Venture Beyond” experience has arrived in Malaysia! From now until 12 May 2024, immerse yourself in the captivating world of deep-sea exploration at The Starhill KL’s Ground Floor Atrium.

This limited-edition packaging celebrates discovery and sustainability. The Penfolds Max’s range boasts fully recyclable materials, while Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Bin 28 Shiraz utilize 75% recycled materials. Melbourne artist Mikaela Stafford brings the underwater theme to life with playful, 3D artwork centered around marine exploration.

The core of what my work is about is exploring the intersection between technology and nature, trying to find ways to harmonise the tension between the two. With the concept being ‘Venture Beyond’, I wanted to create a place that felt like it was very discoverable. Every time you look at it, you notice something different – something that feels familiar but also unfamiliar at the same time.”
