Cruises & Sailing
Take a 5-hour lunch cruise on the River Derwent from Hobart. As you enter the d’Entrecasteaux Channel, dolphins will guide you into the pristine waters of Peppermint Bay. Overlooking the picturesque Bruny Island, a stop at the Peppermint Bay hotel boasts the perfect setting to enjoy your delicious lunch on the waters edge.
You’ll start by sailing from Hobart to Mona on one of their super-flash ferries (featuring onboard bars if you want to get the wine flowing early). Once you land you’ll begin your self-guided exploration of the museum and grounds—working up an appetite for a delicious lunch of fresh, locally sourced produce in one of our on-site restaurants (featuring a matched Moorilla wine).
Fed and watered, you’ll meet with your expert Moorilla host, who’ll walk you down to the vineyard, covering the rich history of Moorilla and the finer points of our winemaking techniques as you go. The stroll will wind up back at the sun-drenched Moorilla cellar door, where you’ll settle in for some further tasting of the Moorilla range, before heading back to Hobart on the early evening 5pm ferry.
Start the day in the lap of luxury with a fast-ferry ride from Hobart in the Posh Pit section (ft. canapés and complimentary beverages.
On arrival at Mona you’ll launch into some self-guided roaming of the museum and grounds, before a mid-morning private stroll to the Moorilla vineyard - hosted by one of Moorilla’s wine-nerds - and a comprehensive tasting of their range (Praxis, Muse, Cloth Label) in their deluxe underground wine bunker.
Then it’s off to a seasonal, locally sourced lunch in one of Mona’s restaurants (featuring Moorilla's wines), and then an afternoon
of further museum-exploration (or on-site bar-hopping, it’s up to you).
Once you’re spent, you’ll hop back on the late-afternoon ferry back to Hobart, for further Posh Pit action (more complimentary booze and dessert
canapés, if you’ve got any room left) and relaxation. You’ll receive a bottle of Muse or Praxis wine to take home, as well as a 15% discount on any purchases made from the cellar door on the day.
