Functions


Our home can be yours

We invite you to make yourself at home at The Runholder, the landmark destination of Wairarapa’s boutique wine village, Martinborough. The Runholder is a unique venue to host and cater your next big event, private party or corporate function.

Nestled between vineyard rows and the edge of the Martinborough Terrace, The Runholder is a spectacular location for your event.

The stunning architectural design of the Restaurant & Tasting Room is a warm & elegant space for you to present, workshop, relax and dine, while our subterranean barrel hall, vineyards and knowledgeable hosts provide opportunities for breakaways and activities.

Feast on a menu celebrating local Wairarapa produce completed by the wines of Te Kairanga & Martinborough Vineyard, or see the distiller at work in the distillery while enjoying a Lighthouse Gin & Tonic.
