About this tour

Spend seven hours discovering Mona, Hobart's provocative contemporary art museum, via a return ferry from the city centre. After arrival, explore the galleries at your own pace before heading to The Source Restaurant for a wine tasting featuring local Moorilla and Domaine A selections, followed by a three-course Tasmanian lunch paired with your chosen wines. The afternoon is yours to revisit the galleries, wander the grounds, or catch live music on the lawns before the 5pm ferry home.

What to expect

You'll board the ferry at Brooke Street Pier mid-morning and arrive at Mona ready to wander the galleries solo—no guided commentary, just you and the art. Once you've had your fill, make your way to The Source Restaurant where you'll taste five distinct wines before settling into a leisurely three-course meal featuring local Tasmanian produce. The wines you sampled accompany your lunch, plus tea or coffee to finish. Afterwards, return to the galleries or simply relax on the lawns with live music until departure time.
