How to attend
Buy tickets the moment they release on toastmartinborough.co.nz (2026: general admission around NZD 123, VIP around NZD 549) - the 2026 event is sold out, so watch for official resales or the 2027 on-sale. Martinborough is about 80 minutes from Wellington; use the organised festival transport packages rather than driving, or day-trip from the capital.
The 2026 event is completely sold out and no official ticket is left to buy; the 2027 on-sale will be announced on toastmartinborough.co.nz.
Insider tip
Skip driving entirely - book the official festival shuttle or train-and-bus package from Wellington, and start with the pinot noir tastings before the afternoon crowds and sunshine blur the palate.
