Toast Martinborough is one of New Zealand’s best-loved wine, food and music festivals, held among the vines of the Wairarapa’s premier wine region. On 14 November 2026, The Runholder in Martinborough plays host to a day of producer tastings, food stalls and live music celebrating the region’s cool-climate wines.

The Wairarapa is renowned for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other cool-climate varieties, and Toast Martinborough brings together the region’s leading wineries, from pioneers like Ata Rangi and Martinborough Vineyard to newer names such as Escarpment and Craggy Range. Visitors can sample wine, gin and food from local producers at favourable tasting prices while enjoying live performances throughout the day, all within the compact, walkable heart of Martinborough village.
