Toast Martinborough wished to celebrate Martinborough's wines with visitors to the event in fitting style, without any complications or risk. So, given that so much is still uncertain, they've have made the call to cancel this year's event. Toast Martinborough has pushed pause for 2020 and are coming back bigger and better for 2021.
