As with our Dinner Menu, our Lunch Menu at Tirohana Estate’s Vineyard Restaurant in Martinborough is seasonal and ever-changing throughout the year, in line with seasonal produce. Lunch can be enjoyed inside our restaurant or sitting outside by the vines, or on our terraces patio, with views overlooking the vineyard.
We have All-Day Dining options available such as our Traditional High Tea, which is served between 11am and 4.30pm daily and offers sumptuous sweet & savoury options to share (or enjoy all to yourself 🙂 ). Moreover, this can be combined with your preferred choice of starter entrees and/or desserts from our Lunch Menu and is an alternative way to share a lunch with a group.
So, whether you choose to enjoy the cozy warmth by the fireplace in the restaurant, or make the most of being outdoors at our vineyard and winery site, there are plenty of options for a relaxing lunch in Martinborough at Tirohana Estate.
We can also host group events and larger bookings with plenty of seating outside at our vineyard. As a group lunch venue, we furthermore have the ability to host larger groups in our Grand Marquee by the vines which is ideal for events, functions and conferences, or a special lunch get-together with family or friends. Private dining for lunch is also available.
