Join 10,000 food and wine lovers for a fabulous and memorable day out at Toast Martinborough on Sunday 21 November 2010.

Held every year on the third Sunday in November, Toast gives you the opportunity to celebrate the release of the new vintage, whilst enjoying culinary delights from Wellington and Wairarapa’s finest restaurants, and listening to some of New Zealand’s best live entertainment.

The Martinborough Wine Village is delightfully compact, with most of the largely boutique vineyards located within walking distance of each other.  Stroll easily between wineries or jump on free shuttle buses that circulate constantly throughout the day. 

Each vineyard expresses its own personality.  Sophisticated and stylish, relaxed and laid back or pumping with energy ...  you choose.
