Mission Estate Winery, New Zealand

PerryGolf Staff
On a recent trip to Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, I was advised that while in the area it was a “must” to visit a vineyard. On arrival at Mission Estate Winery – established since 1851 – it was confirmed to my colleague and I that we had made the right choice.

The restored, picturesque main building and the history upon which we were educated added greatly to my experience. With a great selection of wines and goods to purchase, I was spoiled for choice!

On such a beautiful day, and after our tour, we decided to stay for lunch…seated outside in the sunshine with a glass of wine. Lunch was great with a wide selection of food and, of course, an extensive wine list! This was my first experience of chilled soup – strawberry, champagne & mint to be exact; a perfect starter. This was followed by New Zealand Lamb, and to finish, a rich chocolate parcel. After lunch – and spending the remainder of my time in the shop – it was time to leave.

This is one of my favourite memories from my trip to New Zealand and I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon in this beautiful country. Check out the Mission Estate Winery’s website.
