Colombo Martinborough is a boutique, family‑owned vineyard and cellar‑door experience nestled just a stone’s throw from Martinborough’s Town Square. Established in 2014 and now run by German‑Kiwi couple Thomas and Nicola Röckinger, Colombo offers handcrafted small‑batch wines made from their own mature Pinot Noir vines on Todds Road
During a stay in the Wairarapa, Colombo makes for a delightful daytime outing or weekend stop. It’s ideal for unwinding over a wine flight—whether you choose a white or red flight—or relaxing with a glass of wine by the beanbags in the sun or beside the fire in cooler months. Wood‑fired pizzas and platters are served on‑site, making it easy to linger and savour the surroundings.
In the summer months, Colombo frequently hosts local acoustic music playing on Sunday afternoons from about 2–5 pm—creating a vibrant, convivial vibe under the vines. These weekend sessions are a highlight, pairing excellent local wine and food with music and sunshine.
This charming venue integrates seamlessly into a Wairarapa Undiscovered itinerary. After sipping wines and listening to tunes, you can easily venture into Martinborough Village for boutique shopping, art galleries, cafés, and restaurants. The town offers a wonderful selection of dining experiences and independent stores to explore.
Whether you’re building a relaxed weekend or joining a guided tour, make sure Colombo Martinborough is on your list. It’s the perfect mix of wine, live entertainment, food and local charm.
