Looking at art used to be boring. It still is, maybe, but at least here at Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art, you can get drunk and/or rage against the machine. Located just up the river from Hobart (Tasmania's southern capital), Mona's subterranean architecture showcases the highlights (and lowlights) of David Walsh’s $110m private collection of art and antiquities, as well as hosting a busy exhibitions program. Mona is also home to the Moorilla winery, The Source Restaurant, Faro, bars, cafe, accommodation pavilions and more (plus Moo Brew, an off site brewery).
We also host two festivals. Each January, our summer festival, Mona Foma, unleashes an eclectic mix of music and art. Come June, our Dark Mofo winter festival delves into centuries-old winter solstice rituals and celebrates the dark through art, music, food, film, light and noise.
New World Whisky Distillery are makers of the award-winning Starward whisky range. Melbourne born and bred.
Starward was founded in 2007 by David Vitale who had a simple vision: to create a distinctly Australian whisky and offer it to the world with pride.
The team bring together Australian barley and Australian red wine barrels to create a distinctly Australian range of whisky.
Housed in Port Melbourne, 10 minutes from Melbourne's CBD, this urban distillery is as bold and unconventional as the spirit it produces and the city it calls home.
A forward-thinking whisky for forward drinkers - Starward pushes the boundaries of what whisky can be.
