A boost for Central Otago business when the inaugural Ayrburn Classic rolls into Arrowtown this weekend. 

Hundreds of vintage and luxury cars will be on show at the 160-year-old farm, which has recently become a hospitality hub. 

The event's taken inspiration from overseas festivals like Pebble Beach in California. 

Ayrburn Owner Chris Meehan told Mike Hosking the land was a sheep paddock around a year ago. 

He says now there are 10 restaurants and bars, a winery – and they're doing about 40-thousand meals per month.
