Moorilla Estate - Hobart
Moorilla Estate has been in the vanguard of the Tasmanian wine industry since Claudio Alcorso migrated from Italy in the 1950's and spotted the potential for a new industry. Moorilla has a long history, and this experience has been translated into fine lodging, fine food, fine wnes and cutting edge culture.
Stay in any one of the eight architect designed Pavilions for the ultimate indulgence, eat in the Source Restaurant onsite for a great meal, and spend some time contemplating the exhibits at MONA - the Museum of Old and New Art.
