Under the management of Saranne James with Executive Chef Paul Dicken, Tirohana Estate offers both casual and fine dining in either its vineyard & winery restaurant in Martinborough (celebrating global cuisine)… Or, through a more casual dining option on its photogenic terraces (weather permitting).
So, whether or not you prefer a mouthwatering five course menu, afternoon tea, a winter Sunday Roast or summer BBQ… Or, if you would like to sample a taste at one of our themed events such as traditional Indian cuisine to Mexican fare (during thematic seasons)… There is always something different to experience at Tirohana.
Or, how about some scones, macarons, pastries and delicacies with our Tirohana Estate High tea, which is served daily morning and afternoon (bookings recommended). This also offers an alternative style light bite or meal which can be shared (and you can even add a starter or dessert to accompany your High Tea from our luncheon menu).
A Menu for All Seasons
In the autumn and winter, the ambience is punctuated by a huge roaring fire along with a pot bellied stove in the adjacent tasting area (from which our clients might even wish a simple bowl of hot soup and fresh bread while exploring the joys of the Wairarapa in a cold winter’s day).
In the spring, summer and autumn months, Tirohana extends its doors to overlap onto the beautifully landscaped Tirohana terraces, overlooking the photogenic vines. See the restaurant photo gallery.
We have samples of our current Lunch Menu and Dinner Menu.
During the seasons, we also host special themed events such as our Mid-Winter Christmases, bringing festive cheer to the winter… And our Grand New Year’s Eve Ball is a great way to see out the year and welcome in the new year in Martinborough.
Tirohana Estate Restaurant is open all year round – please call in advance to check opening hours and availability (limited hours during the festive holidays). Please note that we get booked out well in advance throughout the year and close at times for private bookings, tours and functions – please book early to avoid disappointment – call 06 306 9933 or email for further details.
