can use Tirohana Estate as a refuge from the hectic day
from 10 AM to 5 PM as one might a first-class airport

enjoyed including the live entertainment but all the stress
and hassle of the day is taken away to relax and unwind
with no queuing, with private dining for lunch and
concierge service for wine tasting. Prices per person all
inclusive are $175 inc GST (yes including the tickets to
Toast Martinborough, which makes for tremendous value).

SPRING CELLAR DOOR AND RESTAURANT
Throughout the spring period, the cellar door at Tirohana Estate is open seven days per week - so if you felt like sampling some of our new release wines (or our award-winning classic varieties) then it's a great time to visit Martinborough to enjoy the warmer days and lighter nights at Tirohana (as well as the open fires for those times when the temperature dips!). When the sun shines, why not enjoy the views and a glass of wine or two on Tirohana Terraces, overlooking the picturesque vines.
Tirohana Cellars Restaurant offers both lunch and dinner options (and we have a new and exciting spring menu for both lunch and spring dinner menu available from Monday 6th September), including indoor fine dining and outdoor casual dining (weather permitting) throughout the spring. Reservations are recommended for lunch and are essential for dinner. Oh, and don't forget to check out our traditional Sunday roast which is back by popular demand and served each and every Sunday
Throughout spring, Tirohana Estate takes on a special ambience and the Wairarapa region has much to offer from visiting the boutiques and antique shops in historic Greytown to exploring the rugged coastline of Riversdale and Lake Ferry, to bicycling around Martinborough village to sitting back and relaxing by the fire on those colder nights with an open book. And there is no better place for a long lazy lunch or cosy evening dinner than Tirohana Cellars restaurant, which serves local fresh produce with a high standard of personal service in a unique and atmospheric ambience.
ACCOMMODATION SPRING SPECIAL OFFERS
