South Wairarapa: cobblestones and charm
26 February 2025
Greytown is so picture-perfect with its mantle of frothy spring blossoms, it’s like walking onto a well-dressed movie set.
Cycle the vines in Martinborough
Flat country roads make the perfect terrain for easy cycling in between vineyards – no lycra required!
Martinborough, the picturesque country village in the heart of the Wairarapa region is synonymous with wine – most notably its famous pinot noir. With more than 20 wineries, most within cycling distance of the Union Jack-shaped village square, it’s the ideal location for a wine tour by bike.
Pick up a wine map and sip and sup your way between cellar doors, sampling the region’s luscious tipples.
Many Martinborough vineyards have onsite restaurants for a luxuriant lunch or a fortifying platter to keep you going.
Meet the winemakers, learn about the local terroir, taste the wares and take a bottle or two home with you to savour later.
