Wairarapa's Hidden Gem
Join us every Friday to Sunday for organic Wairarapa wines and seasonal country fare
Fridays 11am to 8pm. Saturday and Sunday 11am to 4pm.
At URLAR, we’re proud to welcome you to our cellar door, where you can explore the story behind our wines and taste the best of what our organic vineyard has to offer. Enjoy a guided tasting and a thoughtfully curated menu prepared by our talented chef. On select days, you might even get the chance to sample one of our special library wines.
Every element of the space has been designed with care — from the feature wall crafted from individual pieces of Farm Totara to the deck overlooking the lake, offering sweeping views of the vineyard. It’s a beautiful spot to relax with a glass of wine, whether you're soaking up the summer sun or enjoying a cosy winter afternoon.
We look forward to welcoming you soon — bookings are essential.
Friday Evenings at URLAR
From 10 April, we’re open every Friday from 4pm to 8pm (last food orders at 7pm). Enjoy a seasonal Blackboard Menu, thoughtfully prepared to pair with your favourite URLAR wines, or opt for takeaway and savour the experience at home.
Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed dinner or a catch-up with friends, Friday evenings at URLAR offer a slower, more relaxed way to enjoy the vineyard.
Outdoor seating is available for those who want to dine under the night sky, just be sure to dress warmly. Walk-ins welcome, bookings recommended.
We’re also open as usual from 11am, so you’re welcome to join us earlier in the day.
Sample organic wines and seasonal country fare.
We want to make sure you have a great time when visiting URLAR. Our small menu of seasonal country fare is crafted with ingredients from local producers wherever possible – including Homegrown Butchery, Leafy Ridge Olives, The Clareville Bakery, Martinborough Brewery, and Mela Apple Juice.
The menu can be adapted to suit most dietary requirements, but please note any dietary needs in your booking so our kitchen can accommodate you.
As our offering is seasonal and locally inspired, the menu may change from time to time.
