Huge congratulations to the team at Poppies Martinborough for being named one of The Real Review’s Top 20 Wineries of New Zealand 2026, coming in at #19.

We love having such passionate, talented neighbours here in Martinborough.
If you’re staying with us at The Claremont, make sure you add Poppies to your must‑visit list, their wines (and the people behind them) are something special.

Well done, team. What an achievement.

We’re incredibly proud to have been named one of The Real Review’s Top 20 Wineries of New Zealand 2026 ( #19), alongside our Rosé being recognised as a finalist for Rosé Wine of the Year — ranked #7 out of all rosés tasted this year.

While the Rosé received special recognition, this acknowledgement really reflects the consistency and quality of the entire Poppies range.

Our Rosé has always been about texture, savoury detail and freshness, rather than simply fruitiness, and to see it recognised in this way is very special for our small team.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Poppies — whether you’ve visited us, shared a bottle with friends, or followed along from afar. We never take it for granted.

Hens Weekend at The Claremont 👰🏻👰🏼👰🏽👰🏾
Last weekend The Claremont turned into full hens party headquarters, and honestly… we’re still smiling about it. This crew arrived ready for a good time and absolutely made the most of everything Martinborough has to offer, wine tastings, local bites, little adventures around town (via Claremont Cabs of course!), the works.

But the real magic happened back at home base. They took over our marquee space and transformed it into their very own paint and sip studio canvases out, aprons on, drinks poured, and a whole lot of laughter echoing across the lawn. It was creative chaos in the best possible way.

We love seeing groups bring their own flavour to a stay here, whether it’s a DIY workshop, a themed dinner, or a full blown celebration. If you’re planning your own weekend away, The Claremont is the perfect spot to spread out, get comfy, and make it your own.

Thinking about a girls’ trip, birthday, or hens weekend? Plan your stay and we’ll help you make it unforgettable.
