Discover and explore wines from the majestic Te Muna Valley in Martinborough. Join Big Sky Wines, Blue Earth Estate and Escarpment for a two-day experience immersing yourself into the winemaking, viticulture and wines of Te Muna.

Day One: Saturday
We have created a special Spring package that begins with you being picked up from Martinborough Square at 10.30 am and taken to Escarpment. Here Joelle Thomson, wine writer, author and educator, will introduce you to the wines and place of Te Muna with a curated tasting and masterclass that delves into the special attributes of our Martinborough sub region. Lunch will be a relaxed buffet and you will be dropped back at the Square around 3.30 pm.

Day Two: Sunday
Your pick up is at Martinborough Square at 10.30 am for a shuttle to Escarpment. This time it is to taste a selection of Escarpment wines and glimpse behind the scenes at this stunning winery. The next stop is Big Sky Wines, where founders Katherine Jacobs and Jeremy Corban will show how they manage their organic vineyard and share a tasting of their current wines. Finally, the shuttle winds up the Te Muna Valley to meet Margaret and Mike Hanson at Blue Earth Estate to hear their stories and taste their wines. Lunch will be a relaxed and delicious affair, accompanied of course with a glass of wine. Here winemakers will be joining us.

The shuttle will take you back to the Square about 3.30 pm.
