Step back in time on our Hawke’s Bay Historic Wineries Tour. Visit Mission Estate, New Zealand’s oldest winery, founded by French missionaries in 1851, and taste elegant wines while exploring the beautifully preserved building and cellar.

Be driven through historic Taradale, lined with charming villas and early settler cottages that tell the storey of Hawke’s Bay’s wine pioneers.

Next, we will visit Church Road Winery, established in 1897 by Tom McDonald, father of NZ’s fine reds.

To finish, we’ll take you up to Bluff Hill Lookout for sweeping views over Napier Port, the Pacific Ocean, and Napier’s Art Deco skyline.
