OFF Season 2024
MONA Gala x Agrarian Art Adventure
14th June 2024 exclusive
MONA Gala June 14th, 2024, promises to be a very special event and we have not only secured your ticket, but have enhanced the experience by combining it with a Long Lunch at Agrarian Kitchen Eatery and a nip of Whisky by the fire in the Highlands.
That means a post long lunch, pre Gala dreamy drive through the Central Highlands for a cosy Winter's Trail perfect for an Epicurean transition between Heaven and Earth.
We want you to fully, totally and comprehensively RELAX. Drink a little. There is no driving for you today. No rushing. Fully engage your senses. Especially your palate.
And your things of beauty noticing mind.
For the 14th June, and MONA Gala, we will deliver you to the MONA ROMA Ferry that marks the start of Gala. We may go to The Tasman Hotel just prior for you to freshen up. Yes! We will go some place nice for you in the City to get ready for Act II of your beautiful day.
We will also stand by during the evening and offer you a complimentary transfer post-Gala.
Travel in comfort with Derwent Experience
For this truly one of a kind and once only event for 2024 on Friday 14th June, give the WHOLE day over to being your most abundant and vibrant self. From waking to sleep again, every moment should be given over to maximum enjoyment in the middle of Winter and this will set you up wonderfully for a very, very nice Saturday.

If you love Food, If you delight in Art, If you revel in the Elements...then this special day has been crafted just for you.
As part of our Organic Intelligence series of premium small group sensory experiences that will take you on a full day mind-body-spirit journey, this "tour" is designed to be the equivalent of a long warm bath with candles and ripples of joy as you share peace and creativity with a very small group of similar Humans.
A maximum of eight lucky people. Out of millions.
We pick you up from your Hotel / address in Hobart, in our Executive Class Master Bus that comfortably carries 11 passengers.
Dress joyfully. Wear your best coat and bring your gloves and beanie just in case.
Come solo or with your best Friend/s.
Meet the Food you are about to eat at Agrarian Kitchen.
The Agrarian Kitchen Garden and Eatery, and also MONA are the focal points of the day, however special attention is also given to what happens in between these Titans of Tasmania.
A welcome toast at a scenic location with a single handcrafted Tasmanian made chocolate to savour and a Michael Leunig Prayer for the Discombobulated will precede a Garden Tour at Agrarian Kitchen in New Norfolk, 30 minutes from Hobart. Gentle and dreamy will be our cruising music as we gaze out to the river and hills, the trees and sheep, clouds.
Over three hours at Agrarian Kitchen for a Food Lovers dream date with the essence of simple food with matching wines served magnificently being the extraordinary heart of the day.
After what may be one of the most amazing gourmet experiences you have had in years or maybe ever, we drive to MONA down the other side of the river, a decent detour to see things from the other side. The transition period from Food to Art is important, there is much to digest.
Making the most of the day’s colour and light is in part our main delight
At MONA, descend into the sub-terranean maze of Old and New Art, primed and ready to explore and investigate at your own pace, human creativity and Mr Walsh's obsession with Sex and Death.
At the group agreed time, we then finish our splendiferous day together with a cocktail and nibbles at MONA's Faro Bar.
Between 6 and 7 pm we can then take you to your Hotel, Restaurant or Home.
Many great photos will be taken of you and for you.
Yes this is a little bit fancy, and in the company of like minded strangers (unless you decide to bring seven friends and get in early) then the Food x Art x Joy chemistry will be very kool, and your appreciation of some of the finer things in life will have been greatly enhanced.
On the 20th July and 18th August we have delightful days ready for you - Agrarian Kitchen Eatery and MONA.
On the 14th June its just a little bit more mighty: MONA Gala is a one off.
Upon reservation, you will receive a welcome email and confirmation of the pickup time and location.
An accurate guide for MONA Gala on the 14th June is 10.45am pickup and 11pm - midnight return.
For the 20th July and 18th August, 10am pickup and 7 pm return.
Yes! These tickets are not exactly cheap. Sorry about that. Most of the cost is going to MONA and Agrarian Kitchen, and in turn, most of their costs are going to Suppliers and Staff.
Purchasing a seat, or seats, is obtaining a full day of pleasure, as well as every minute prior enjoying the anticipation, and many wonderful memories to carry with you forever.
