We, like many, would like firstly to acknowledge the passing of Mike Beckett. The monthly email interactions between myself and Mike when it was to me to get our article in will be missed. It is also a graphic reminder of the speed at which time passes us!!!! It was a little thing, quite silly really, but created a great connection. Our thoughts go to Mike’s family and the Team at The Star where he was an integral part.
It is “connection” that is one of our drivers as an Association. There are two elements to this,
Martinborough as a destination creates connection and celebration. A place where food, wine and boutique shopping bring people together so beautifully. We see it week in and week out, visitors enjoying a coffee, and exploring the vineyards on cycles, and enjoying our cafes, restaurants, and shops.
Locals too enjoy the chance to share our magic with visitors. We promote our wine village and member businesses via social media channels and in particular Instagram.
As a business community, we know connection within the group is important. We know this because our members tell us this.
We host monthly business events known as Business after 5. (BA5s) These social events for our members enable networking, connection, and a chance just to catch up. Sometimes it is simply with a drink and sometimes with a theme or speaker to add value to the opportunity.
If you are keen to connect with the association don’t hesitate to reach out to info@martinboroughnz.com or fill in a joining form at the website martinboroughwinevillage.nz
