Moorilla Estate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moorilla Estate is a winery located in the suburb of Berriedale, 12 km north of the city centre of Hobart, Tasmania. Since its establishment in 1958, Moorilla has evolved into a cultural haven that draws visitors from around the world to sample wine, food, accommodation and the Moorilla Museum of Antiquities.
Moorilla is an Aboriginal word meaning, "A rock by the water".
The winery produces a number of cool climate wines, and also produces three beers under the label Moo Brew, and a number of wines under the label of St Matthias.
The accommodation was added in 2000 and consists of four luxurious hilltop chalets which feature items from the museum's collection of antiquities.
The site also plays host to a number of live music and drama performances on a regular basis, and has a function centre. Moorilla Estate's antiquities museum, formerly housed in the Sir Roy Grounnds designed building will undergo a major redevelopment over the next three years. The new development will house a range of both antiquities and contemporary art and will be in keeping with existing heritage overlay. Due for completion in 2009.
