Martinborough
Bring your appetite to Martinborough, where Pinot Noir and excellent restaurants promise to ease you into a very happy state of mind. From Martinborough’s village centre you can stroll or cycle to any or all of the 30 local vineyards, making for a unique walking-wine-tour experience. Pick up a map from the visitors centre. If you can’t find the time or energy to wander from vineyard to vineyard, there’s a wine centre where you can sample many wines under one roof.
Not surprisingly, Martinborough is a key stop on the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail - a 5-day journey through three significant wine regions.
Accommodation in this area is full of character. Stay at a country estate, boutique hotel or find a self-contained heritage cottage. There are B&B's and farm-stays in every direction. To counteract the effects of over-indulgence, try a hike around the Patuna Chasm Walkway.
Martinborough is just over an hours' drive from Wellington making it a great day trip.
