Toast Martinborough will return on Saturday 14 November 2026, marking a new chapter for one of New Zealand’s most recognised food and wine events.
The long-running festival, known for bringing together wine, food and music across Martinborough’s vineyards, is shifting to a new format. The 2026 event will be hosted exclusively at The Runholder, following strong feedback from last year’s boutique-style event.
Organisers say the move creates a more centralised and curated experience, while continuing to showcase the region’s wineries, local food producers and live music. The change moves away from the traditional multi-venue format to a single-site festival setting.
Wine tastings, food offerings and live performances define the event, with a focus on quality and regional representation.
Toast Martinborough has built a strong reputation over the years as a key date on the New Zealand events calendar, attracting visitors from across the country.
Further details, including programme information and ticketing, are expected to be released closer to the event date.
