Toast Martinborough
at The Runholder

Saturday 14 November 2026, 12-6pm

After the incredible response to our event last November, The Runholder Presents: A Boutique Festival of Wine, Gin, Food & Music, we are excited to announce the event you loved now is returning on Saturday 14th November 2026, and becomes the new era of Toast Martinborough - New Zealand’s most iconic and much-loved celebration of wine, food & music among the vines.

Toast Martinborough will now be hosted at The Runholder, creating a vibrant, centrally curated festival experience while continuing to showcase the very best of the region. While the setting evolves, the heart of the event remains unchanged – local wineries, exceptional food and outstanding live music will continue to define the Toast Martinborough experience.
