Burger Nelson Tasman 2026 — it's a wrap! 🎉

What a winter it was. Thirty-one local venues went head-to-head, creating one-of-a-kind burgers and crowning some seriously impressive crowd favourites. From clever flavour combos to full-on comfort classics, you lot showed up and made it epic.

The grills are off for now, but the memories (and the full bellies) are forever. Huge thanks to every venue that brought the heat, creativity, and passion — and to everyone who ate their way around Nelson Tasman, voted, and made this celebration of local hospitality unforgettable.

Thanks for making Burger Nelson Tasman 2026 one for the books.
