Berriedale TAS 7011
Australia
Moorilla, located at Berriedale just north of Hobart in Southern Tasmania, was established by one of the icons of Tasmanian viticulture and winemaking, the late Claudio Alcorso.
Moorilla is now MONA, an integrated wine, food, art and cultural experience, with boutique chalet accommodation and regular concerts. It also hosts the annual MONA FOMA music and arts festival in January, which takes place at various locations around Hobart.
The former Moorilla Museum of Antiquities has been relaunched as the world-class MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art. MONA houses Australia's largest private modern art collection, that of collector and philanthropist David Walsh, and is a gallery of international significance. It houses the permanent Monanism exhibition in addition to a range of changing exhibitions.
Entry to the Museum for Tasmanian visitors is free. Interstate and overseas visitors over 18 years of age pay a $20 admission fee. Concessions are $10. The Museum is open from 10am - 6pm every day except for Tuesdays and Christmas Day.
Visitors can get to MONA via ferry, bus, car or bike. Visit the website for the latest bus and ferry departure times.
Moorilla's award-winning wines, including their signature pinot noir, are amongst the best in the State. Look out for the Praxis and Muse ranges. Moorilla is also home to the microbrewery Moo Brew.
Not to be missed on a visit to Hobart.
