Meet the makers
Wander the back roads of Upper Moutere and discover a community of passionate artisans opening their doors for a day of springtime creativity, flavour and connection.
The Moutere Artisans Open Day – Spring is your invitation to step into the world of makers, growers and creators in one of Nelson Tasman’s most scenic and soulful corners. Held each spring, this self-guided tour leads you through open studios, cellar doors, farm shops and kitchens—where the people behind the products share their stories, their process, and a whole lot of heart.
You’ll meet potters, painters, winemakers, cheesemakers, brewers, bakers and more—all part of a tight-knit community that takes pride in doing things the old-fashioned way: by hand, with care, and deeply rooted in the land. From handcrafted ceramics to small-batch wines, wood-fired bread to locally grown olives, there’s something unique waiting behind every gate.
Whether you’re here to shop, taste, sip or simply soak up the rural magic, the Moutere Artisans Open Day is a relaxed, inspiring way to experience the best of our region’s creativity and hospitality. Bring a basket, take your time, and enjoy a spring day well spent in the hills of Upper Moutere.
