Established in 1851, Mission Estate Winery is New Zealand's oldest Winemaker in Taradale, Hawkes Bay. There can be few places associated with the development of New Zealand Wine that has such unique historical significance as Mission Estate Winery. Over 150 years of experience and passion have culminated in the current collection of Mission Estate, Vineyard Selection, Reserve and Jewelstone award winning Wines.

Grapes are sourced predominantly from Hawkes Bay, with modern viticulture and Winemaking techniques practised to ensure the long-standing reputation for quality is maintained.

Housed in an elegantly restored historic seminary building with sweeping views of Napier, Mission Estate offers visitors a year round complete Wine experience.

As New Zealand?s oldest Winery, Mission Estate Winery has a long-standing reputation for producing award-winning, quality Wines.

Our current range includes Mission Estate, Vineyard Selection, Reserve, and Jewelstone brands. These are outstanding Hawkes Bay Wines hallmarked by their purity of flavour, irrespective of price point.

Mission Estate has consistently produced Wine sustainably, and our philosophy is to minimise additions so that our Wines show true regional and varietal expression. All Mission Wines are produced on site at our Winery in Taradale, Hawkes Bay, Napier, New Zealand.

The grapes used for Mission Wines are sourced from our own vineyards and contracted growers in Hawkes Bay and across New Zealand.
A visit to the cellar door provides an opportunity to try the extensive range of Wines and for those interested in history, the twice daily historic tour is a must.

Lunch or dinner can be enjoyed seven days in the renowned Mission Restaurant, and the adjoining Chapel provides the ideal venue for a picturesque wedding reception or conference.

The upgraded seminary building provides a unique location for the ever-popular award-winning Mission Restaurant. Exquisite cuisine is served from 10am daily, with the lunch menu and dinner menu changing regularly to reflect the seasonal influence.

Nestled in the Taradale hills, diners at the Mission Estate Restaurant enjoy sweeping views of Napier city and the coast beyond. Beautiful by day and spectacular by night, the vista is unparallelled in Hawke?s Bay. The outdoor dining terrace is drenched in summer sun while the indoor restaurant spaces have been cleverly designed to provide intimate dining.

With only the freshest local produce used, the style of cuisine is contemporary with definite European influence. Mission Estate Wines are offered exclusively on the Wine list, and the waiting staff are well briefed to provide the best Wine match option for each dish on the menu.

Excellent service, quality seasonal produce and award-winning Wines combine to create a memorable experience.
