Moorilla Winery

We had a wonderful experience at Moorilla Cellar Door on our last day of the Tasmania trip. I’m not a big fan of wine myself, but my father-in-law and partner absolutely love it — and I have to say, I ended up really enjoying it too! The staff were amazing, especially the gentleman who looked after us during the tasting — the one in the pictures (I think his name was Brad, though I’m not entirely sure). He read my expressions so well and helped me find wines that suited my taste perfectly. He explained the food pairings beautifully and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and memorable. Such a great way to wrap up our trip!

This place is so cool. I was down there for a few hours and time went so quick so much to look at and once you come back up the top you can always go back down because there’s still so much to see again. Would definitely recommend going here worth the money.

We came for a tasting after a visit at the museum. We had Clair assuring with our tasting. She was marvellous, could not have been more helpful. She gave great tasting notes, was genuine and helpful in her conversations with us and even recommended a venue to go to afterwards. Amazing experience, delicious wines, and the best service!

My fiance and I had a great time at Moorilla. Our host, a guy from Adelaide, is very knowledgable at not only wine but also history of Mona. Really appreciated his curating and customer service. Thank YOU!

Chef should be ashamed to serve what they call a New England Prawn Roll for $26 to receive a pathetic bread roll not much bigger than a dinner roll with one thinly sliced prawn, a single prawn if that, a bit of limp lettuce with some sort of Potato Mayo? so over priced along with a glass of house wine at $17 was just a total rip off, I understand costs and profits I also know about getting ripped off. The ferry ride to Mona and the Gallery is a MUST DO , 5 Stars there, really worth seeing.

This is my 3rd trip to MONA and somehow I had not known previously that the food element to this place existed (maybe because it’s called a Wine Bar I might have thought it was a cellar door?). Anyway, this trip we got to go prior to visiting the museum and were extremely surprised by the food on offer. This place is like fine dining without the pretentious people / restaurant which is okay by us. We had the oysters, God’s Mezze and the King Prawn Poke Bowl to share. The dishes were packed with flavour, super delicious and plentiful. The staff were super friendly, the restaurant was very spacious and the food came out quickly. All pluses in our book. Would definitely recommend you include it for your next trip to MONA.

Nicole greeted us very warm and kindly!🤍 She explained about wine professionally and it really helped me to enjoy various wines. It was lovely and amazing!!!! I loved everything there and wanna come back to enjoy again.🫶🫶🫶

We only had starters here to try with the views and some wine. Wine was really delicious and the starter we had was a truffle mushroom sundae with brioche. This was really delicious all together and unique. The views were lovely. However, the service was pretty poor. Repeated requests for additional wine and long delays in bringing the orders back. A shame as we would have liked to have stayed longer, but we didn't have the time.

We were headed to the MONA and decided to book a wine tasting as well. They gave us a menu of all the options and let us choose the path we wanted to take. I loved the red and big flavors and Husband doesn't like wine (whaaa, weird, I know) so he will be a trouper and go with the whites and bubbly options. Works for me because I get a sip of them all too. Our wine guide was great. Knowledgeable about the wines and fun to chat with. The grounds are beautiful and the tasting room had lovely view of the area as it's on the second floor. Great stop

Moorilla is a winery located on the same grounds as the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Berriedale. To visit the MONA and Moorilla, you can take the MONA Ferry across the Derwent River to reach it. I decided to opt for the Posh Pit seating and as part of that package, they offer a free ticket for a tour of the winery that I decided to take up. On my way to the MONA and Moorilla on the ferry, they served Moorilla's sparkling riesling which was nice and crisp. I think I may have had too much, but I guess it seemed fitting to be a little drunk when you are going to a "weird art" museum. After spending a short time at the museum, I had to leave to head over to the winery for the tour. When I got there, one of the staffers served up a small glass of sauvignon. The winery tour was short as it was just a half hour. There are some other tours offered by the winery that are a bit longer. Check their website for more details. During the tour, I was able to taste a few wines that were still in the aging process as I checked out the facility where they store the wine. Some of them were not quite drinkable yet, but it was nice to see the production process for wine. If you are visiting the MONA, I would recommend checking out the winery whether for a tour or tasting. Particularly if you haven't been to a winery before as it was the case for me.
