Martinborough wineries
Experience · Wellington & Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
A small grid of streets surrounded by 30+ pinot noir producers, an hour over the Rimutaka Hill from Wellington. Walkable cellar doors, a single town square, and one of the most concentrated fine-wine regions in the country.
Wineries
Ata Rangi and Dry River for the cult pinot. Palliser Estate for the classic. Escarpment and Craggy Range for the modern. Martinborough Wine Centre on the square for a one-stop tasting flight.
Where to stay
Wharekauhau Country Estate on the coast (Robertson Lodges) is the luxury upgrade — clifftop cottages overlooking Palliser Bay. Peppers Parehua and The Martinborough Hotel are the in-town options.
