Martinborough enjoys a temperate climate with warm, dry summers and cool, crisp winters. Being inland, it experiences greater temperature extremes than coastal areas. Spring and autumn offer mild, pleasant conditions, while summer can be quite hot, perfect for outdoor wine tasting. Winters are typically cool and often sunny, with occasional rain.
The shoulder seasons of spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) are ideal, offering pleasant weather for exploring vineyards and fewer crowds than summer. October and April, in particular, provide beautiful colours and comfortable temperatures.
