Waterside Accommodation - Derwent Vista

Moorilla is one of Tasmania’s oldest wineries. Nestled on a small peninsula on the River Derwent, it was founded in 1956 by textile magnate Claudio Alcorso, before being bought by David Walsh in 1995, and the site is now home to the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) as well as the winery. As part of the development of Mona, the winery was completely rebuilt and is now housed just above the museum entrance (fruit for the winery is drawn from Moorilla as well as a northern vineyard in the Tamar Valley). The site also holds Moorilla’s Cellar Door and the Moorilla Wine Bar. As well as tastings, we offer a range of premium tours and experiences through the Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia program. Moorilla produces red, white, and sparkling wines using estate-grown cool-climate grape varieties across three styles: the quaffable Praxis; elegant Muse, and high-end Cloth Label.

A gallery at Mona is transformed into an immense, ruined landscape made of sand by French artist Théo Mercier and his crack team of sand sculptors.

A cavernous, light-drenched bar/restaurant built into the museum and suspended over the river. Creative cuisine, James Turrell artworks close to hand, the possibility of someone playing an oud, extremely large windows, and so on. A la carte or four-course tasting menu for lunch; we take the wheel for dinner. Paired drinks are also available. Bookings are recommended for lunch, and are required for dinner.
