Join us under a canopy of trees for an unforgettable afternoon that blends flavour, sound & celebration.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Martinborough’s rolling hills and vines, this curated gathering brings together our favourite makers, movers, and shakers - ready to pour, plate, and play their hearts out.

Sip iconic artisan wines, swirl small-batch gin and savour signature gourmet bites by culinary legends. 

On stage we welcome the soulful stylings and powerhouse vocals of Hollie Smith, the retro glam and infectious energy of The Beat Girls, and the genre-spinning magic of Sweet Mix Kids, interspersed with sets from DJ Takas. The only thing smoother than the wine is the soundtrack. 

Our Saturday session promises an elevated, intimate atmosphere - where the wine flows, the beats drop, and the good vibes carry you through an afternoon of dancing, right into sunset.

Take advantage of easy transportation options with return bus add-ons from Wellington, Masterton, Carterton, Greytown & Featherston ($30-$60), and free shuttles to and from Martinborough Square, so you can sip responsibly.
