I've been here for client lunches, couples Saturday brunch and lunch with the family including kids. DIVINE every time. One of the best in NZ. I'e tried many items on the menu and have never been disappointed.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love this place, they are never shy on tastings and always encourage you to try their entire tasting range (not that it takes much convincing). They have two amazing Chardonnays and a couple of pretty solid reds including a real nice Pinot Noir. If you come during summer bring a picnic as the grounds are really cool.

Love the traditional Cellar Door. The Pinot Gris was superb!

The MIssion Estate Winery Restaurant offers the ultimate in service, food and venue. Having visited this restaurant on many ocassions, be it for the romantic intimate dinner or the corporate function, I have yet to fault this impeccable restaurant. The menu is seasonal, with always the freshest produce available. It is creative whilst still catering for all palates so I have been able to take young people and vegetarians there and not had concerns that there would be limitations for their needs. On special occassions, I have been able to mention this and the staff have always added special little touches to celebrate, for example writing in chocolate on the dessert plate happy anniversary.The venue is sublime for its views over Napier and the vineyards, or the building itself which is of historical significance. When you dine at The mission you are always treated like an old friend on arrival as they seem to remember everyone, but at the same time act with professionalism and respect and do not intrude on your evening. I would recommend this restaurant to all, be it wedding or rendevous, you wont be disappointed.

We came out for a Sunday afternoon lunch and had a great time. The drive into the vineyard is beautiful and well worth the drive. The staff are all super friendly including the chef who showed me to the cafe (I'm probably the only person who manages to get lost here!). Our table ordered the anti pasto platters to share which were delicious and beautifully presented. I had the organic crispy chicken and was not disappointed with my choice. The wine was you'd expect devine. There was a wedding being set up on the lawn- I couldn't think of a better place to get married.
