Martinborough Wine Tasting

One of the reasons we were so excited to get this house sit here in Martinborough was the proliferation of wineries in the area. We were not disappointed. During our ten day stay we dedicated three days to visiting cellar doors. We managed to stop in at 15 of the closest wineries with varying degrees of success.

Palliser Wines

The variety of vineyards was very interesting. From the very classy looking, well maintained and well staffed Palliser Wines…
The Cabbage Tree Vineyard
To places like The Cabbage Tree Vineyard where they have gone for the down to earth approach. Unfortunately even after ringing the bell and waiting, no-one ever showed up to offer a tasting. Luckily there was another vineyard right next door.

By far our two favourite wineries were Schubert Wines and Muirlea Rise Winery. As is always the case, it is the people that make the difference. The wine was rather tasty as well.

Muirlea Rise Winery

Schubert Wines
Great wine and a wonderful lady behind the counter who took the time to connect.
Primary Wine Tasting Transportation
Martinborough is a lovely scenic town that lives for wine. If you are ever in New Zealand visit this town, rent a bike and embrace the experience.
