Battle

of the Burgers

Burger Nelson Tasman is back this winter, serving up a region-wide celebration of all things juicy, smoky, crispy, and downright delicious.

Last year, more than 20 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, the bar has officially been set.

While the grills are not fired up just yet, mark your calendars. Burger Nelson Tasman 2026 will run from 15 June to 12 July, and venues across the region will once again bring the heat and the buns to battle it out for burger glory.

We will be revisiting last year’s winners, welcoming new challengers, and inviting locals and visitors alike to eat their way around Nelson Tasman.
