Follow this handy guide:

Want lunch and a glass of wine? These vineyards have food on offer as well as the tasty drops your heart desires. Just be sure to make a booking. 

Want a tasting of premium wines in an intimate setting? These cellar doors may be right up your alley. They tend to be small though, so fitting in groups of six or more can be tricky. If that’s you, best to give them a call to check.

More than 6 of you? If you’ve managed to get the whole gang together, then you really need to book ahead. Here are some cellar door suggestions to check out:  

Regardless of where the day takes you, here are a few friendly pointers:  

  • In this neck of the woods, it’s casual but classy. Please don’t pre-load and don't come here to get hammered. It’s all about wine tasting, not hitting the turps. Enjoy sampling our pinots or savouring a sav, just don’t get sloshed.
  • Just like at your favourite local bar, the same laws apply here when it comes to consuming alcohol; you can't be served alcohol at cellar doors if you’ve had enough already.
  • The boutique scale of our vineyards is what makes us special. Here, you’ll find small businesses run by locals who love what they do. This means cellar doors can be compact operations, so if you’re in a group, you do need to book ahead.

See and download a Wine Map and Visitor Guide or pick-up one from the Martinborough isite Visitor Information Centre. You can also hire a bike for a relaxed ride around the vineyards. There are good tours on offer too.
