our PLACE
When you come over the Remutaka Ranges from Wellington, lush forested hills give way to a dry, open valley.
As you reach the Martinborough Terrace, you’ll feel a change in atmosphere, and attitude. You’ll start to feel that special character that captures people.
the TERRACE
2,500 years in the making, this tiny wedge of land delivers us some of the finest Pinot Noir in all of New Zealand, and the world. Our roots run deep in this ancient alluvial soil with our Home and McLeod Vineyards located on the edge of the Martinborough Terrace.
our home THE RUNHOLDER
Nestled between vineyard rows and the edge of the Martinborough Terrace, The Runholder is our new home.
Discover our iconic wines along with Martinborough Vineyard wines & Lighthouse Gin in the tasting room, feast on a menu celebrating local product in the restaurant, cosy up beside a roaring fire with a perfectly aged bottle from the cellar and see Lighthouse Gin’s distiller at work while sipping the perfect Gin & Tonic.
Open 7 days for tastings and dining. To book please visit therunholder.co.nz/book
