We started with a wine tasting after looking around the grounds. The tasting consisted of 4 wines with one of us having the red wine and the other white wine. They were so delicious that we bought some wine after our meal. The setting for the wine tasting was on the desk with wisteria hanging nearby and looking out on the fountain and the many birds practicing their nest building activities. After the tasting we celebrated our wedding anniversary with lunch in the restaurant. The garlic, truffle and cheese ciabatta starter were scrumptious and indicated the quality of the meal we were about to experience. We both enjoyed the market fish which had a lovely combination of various other ingredients e.g. lentils and peanut. Feeling in a very greedy mood we opted for dessert. The whole experience was one of the best eating experiences. Thanks to all of the staff.

We biked to Mission Estate Winery for a wine tasting and lunch. What a fabulous experience! Yvonne suggested a flight of both red and white wines to be shared between the two of us. She shared tasting notes as well as some of the history of the building and grounds. The wines were so delicious that we drove back later that afternoon to buy a few bottles for the rest of our road trip. Yvonne really made the experience so enjoyable. After the tasting, we enjoyed lunch at the restaurant. The food and service were excellent. All in all, we had a great afternoon at Mission Estate Winery. We highly recommend a visit for a tasting and lunch!

We walked in to just wander around and ended up having a Fantastic tasting experience. We wandered the beautiful grounds and then tasted a number of lovely wines. Max was a wonderful host and flexed the tasting based on our feedback and specific interests. All in all fully exceeded expectations and most highly recommend!

The oldest winyard and probably the best. Wine test and lunch on place. Perhaps one of the only one easy with the 3 colors and sparkling. Red wine amator, this is the place... Very great time!

Very nice food - I'd believe it if someone told me it was the best in the area, and possibly the most comfortable seats I've ever had at a restaurant. However the service was frequently awol, and for "fine dining" this is a cardinal sin. The approach to the restaurant is lovely, and the eating area itself is in several inter-joined rooms. This has the unfortunate side-effect that often there's no line of sight to servers if you have a request. If you are in the area and want a special night out this is probably the one to try.

Not only is this an astounding setting for a meal (or any occasion!) the food and service were second to none. Service was prompt but not pushy; we were keep up to date with what was happening and the intervals between being seated and being expected to be ready to order were perfectly timed. The halloumi starter was particularly delicious - is it honey that makes it so sweet and more-ish? The two people who ordered steak at different requirements of cooking were not disappointed and the lamb was absolutely to perfection. Their Pinot Noir was superb, it goes without saying! Friendly, knowledgeable wait staff, a delightful ambience and of course those views make this a very special place indeed. Not to be missed!

The Wine, The history, The Service, The Setting is all so perfect! Never know New Zealand wines are so damn good!! if international freight isn’t so damn expensive I would’ve shipped several cases. A must try winery, for sure! We had a lady called YVONNE she is just so gorgeous 🫶🏼

We came at the end of lunch service so we ordered from the snack menu. We got the chicken bites, potato wedges and cheesy bread. The food was delicious. We also got a glass of bubbles and it was very smooth. Really enjoyed our snacks outside and the views! The staff were lovely as well.
