Martinborough Village, wedged between dozens of vineyards, offers much more than wine tours and tastings – although a glass or two is sure to complement whatever you choose to do with your day! Tour the vineyards on foot, mountain bike or the elegance of a horse-drawn carriage.
Centred around the small village square find a huge range of places to eat, great pub food, cafes and quality fine dining. Enjoy historic or boutique hotels, vineyard retreats and rustic cottages. Shop at designer clothing outlets, galleries and specialist shops – pamper yourself at the day spa. Browse at the Martinborough Wine Centre Sunday Market or sample the unique beers of The Martinborough Brewing Company. Even enjoy a glass of wine while you watch a movie at the new Circus Cinema.
Step outside the square for olive grove tours and tastings, walks, crystal swimming holes and horseback views of the beautiful valley. Get out on a top-class golf course, speed across farmland on a quad bike, jet boat or clay pigeon shoot. Make the most of a Martinborough weekend.
