Mission Estate

Mission Estate is the birthplace of New Zealand wine, when the founders built the first winery in Hawke's Bay in 1851.
Housed in an elegantly restored historic seminary building the ever-popular award-winning Mission Restaurant offers diners exquisite cuisine. Excellent service, quality seasonal produce and award-winning wines combine to create a memorable experience. 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.

The Restaurant enjoys sweeping views of Napier city and the coast beyond. Beautiful by day and spectacular by night, the vista is unparalleled in Hawke’s Bay. Visitors are encouraged to wander through the beautifully manicured lawns and garden and soak up the ambiance of the estate, which makes the Mission a unique and special destination.
