Upcoming Events at Palliser Estate

We support the Toast Martinborough team in taking a pause this November, and bringing a new and improved festival back in November 2026. 

So at Palliser, we’re marking the start of summer our own way — with a Palliser Summer Asado, held all weekend Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 November.

Join us for a laid-back weekend of Chef Norka's South American-inspired barbecue, street-food and raw bar (think oysters, ceviche, alongside new vintage bubbles). We’ll have live music, and all your favourite Palliser wines.

No tickets, no bookings — just turn up and chance a table or beanbag, or even BYO picnic blanket — toast to the start of summer with us.

Further details to come, keep an eye on our website and social media pages, or join our Friends of Palliser email list to stay up to date.

While the Toast Martinborough team takes a pause this year, we’re embracing the weekend of 15 & 16 November in our own Palliser way — and also teaming up with our friends across the village.

Start your Saturday with us for the Palliser Summer Asado — a relaxed, no-tickets-needed day on the green, with Chef Norka’s South American BBQ, a raw bar (think oysters + ceviche), live music, and your favourite Palliser wines.

Then head over to The Runholder Presents: A Boutique Festival of Wine, Gin, Food & Music — with a stellar line-up featuring Hollie Smith, the Beat Girls, and the Sweet Mix Kids, where we'll be pouring your favourite Palliser wines alongside our fellow artisan food and wine producers.

And on Sunday? We’ll be here again for an easy-going Asado Sunday Session — same great wine, fire, food and atmosphere, but with that start-of-summer, lazy Sunday energy, so you can debrief on the events the day before.

Why choose just one, when you can enjoy both?

Palliser has some fantastic events in the pipeline, that we're sure you'd love to come along to, so watch this space. Keep checking back here and on our social media channels regularly for announcements of upcoming events at our Martinborough Cellar Door.
