Our Hawke’s Bay & Marlborough Vineyards
Mission Estate introduced the first vines to Hawke’s Bay in the 1850s, beginning a legacy that makes us New Zealand’s oldest winery. Today, we grow in two of the country’s most celebrated wine regions.

We’ve been making wine under the same management since 1851 – a legacy of continuity that shapes everything we do. With few exceptions, most of our wines are expertly crafted and bottled on-site at our historic Taradale estate, where generations of winemaking knowledge meet exceptional vineyard sites and distinctive regional climates.
