Mission Estate Winery

We visited for a wine tasting on Thursday and were presented with four different types to choose from. I selected one to start with, and after tasting it, I wanted to try another. Unfortunately, I was told that only one type is allowed per tasting session, and if I wanted to try more, I’d have to go into the restaurant and order a glass. Since my companion was tied up with a long online meeting, I had to give up on the idea. The setting was beautiful and the pricing very reasonable, but the inflexible policy was a bit disappointing.

The most beautiful winery we’ve visited in Hawke’s Bay. We had 2 wine tastings, the white and the aromatic flights. $15/per person which was a steal because we spent nearly 2 hours there (and they over pour). I highly recommend the “2023 Mission Estate Hawke’s Bay Riesling” which is part of the aromatic flights. It’s a nice place to take your time to write down what you think of each wine and talk over some tipsy day drinking. The tastings themselves were all hitters. I personally would have bought a bottle myself because they were delicious and reasonably priced at around $18/ bottle. But I’m no wine snob, I just thought the views were pretty nice. The drive in features old well maintained trees and a beautiful landscape to drink in front of. Go on a nice sunny day and get yourself pretty because you will want to take lots of pictures. Well done

Excellent Service and Genuine Hospitality I didn’t have much time to spare this morning, but I was genuinely impressed by the service I received. I came in knowing what I was after, and the staff were more than happy to help — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. One staff member suggested a few higher-priced wines, but rather than push for a sale, she took the time to explain what made them special. There was no pressure, just honest, helpful guidance. As a traveller, I can’t take much wine home this trip, but I’ll definitely be importing some through Wine Collective Direct. Thank you for the warm and professional experience — it made a real impression.

Magic place with incredibly tasty wine, we loved our stop at Mission Estate. Our server was very nice. We went for the aromatic self guided tasting and what a blast ! We ended up by buying four bottles. You should really include Mission Estate in your winery tour !
