I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional dining experience at Mission Winery Restaurant. From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the ambiance and warmth of the place. However, what truly stole the show was the extraordinary culinary journey orchestrated by the talented chef.The steaks, in particular, were a revelation. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures, a testament to the chef's mastery in the kitchen. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was one of the best steak experiences I've ever had.The attention to detail and dedication to quality were evident in every dish served. Beyond the remarkable food, the service was impeccable, adding to the overall charm of the evening.I am genuinely grateful for the memorable dining experience at Mission Winery Restaurant and eagerly look forward to returning to savor more of the culinary delights crafted with such care and passion.

Pleasantly surprised by this winery. It is a big name with a long history (the first winery in all of NZ!) and has a large beautiful estate and gorgeous grounds to prove it. Typically we think that large producers sometimes rest on their laurels but this place was wonderful. Blaire was our really well-informed and friendly server at the casual tasting counter. We liked all of the (very) different styles we tried, which is a testament to the winery. Especially liked their bubbles and their Central Otago Pinot Noir. 6 tastes for $5; you get a free wine glass with your tasting fee or you can leave the glass and they will donate the money to a charity. The cost of buying bottles was surprisingly affordable... Many were between $16-29. There's plenty of space so even though it's popular and a place where the tour buses stop, it still feels spacious. Highly recommend!

The wine tasting was excellent here. Well the wines were very good. The lady doing the tastings is like what was commented on the last post. She was very dry and reminded me of a teacher when they are upset with you. I inquired about lunch but didn't receive any helpful information and it felt clear the tasting lady wanted you to leave. However aside from the tasting lady, they live up to their reputation. Decided to do lunch on a whim and I am so glad I did. Food is 5 star quality and not as expensive as I expected. Dessert was over the top amazing. Good views as well. A must stop winery and definitely get a bite to eat!

WOW just WOW. Easy to find and was just going to pop in for lunch (holiday trip) but stayed for several hours. The restaurant food was fantastic (sadly no pictures but the share platter was massive and we could not finish it) and we asked for a wine paring which was superb. Then afterwards, on the spur of the moment, we did the wine tasting. Recommend as there was a bit of history about the Winery, info on where the grapes were grown, what to expect (flavor) and no snobbery. No pressure to buy anything afterwards (but we did). Allow a few hours and try not to be the designated driver (like me).
