The elegantly restored historic seminary building provides a stunning location for the unique, award-winning Mission Restaurant.

Winner of Hospitality Awards Hawke’s Bay 2016 Outstanding Winery Restaurant, exquisite cuisine is served from 10am daily, with the Summer A La Carte Lunch Menu > and the Summer A La Carte Dinner Menu> changing regularly to reflect the seasonal influence.

Nestled in the Taradale hills, diners at the Mission Estate Restaurant enjoy sweeping views of Napier city and the coast beyond. Beautiful by day and spectacular by night, the vista is unparalleled in Hawke’s Bay. The outdoor dining terrace is drenched in summer sun while the indoor restaurant spaces have been cleverly designed to provide intimate dining.

Malo

Malo offers a fresh approach to the Hawke’s Bay food and wine scene. Honest food with a sophisticated, modern twist and an emphasis on local, seasonal flavours.

With an extensive but accessible wine list, Malo is a place to gather and enjoy Hawke’s Bay’s finest hospitality. Welcome to our place.

Craggy Range

Since arriving, Casey has explored the region and made friendships with growers, farmers and orchardists alike, to ensure he understands each of their own stories and reasons for doing what they do. With that in mind, you can expect to taste the freshest food with an intensity like no other.

Recently recognised with two hats at the 2018 Cuisine Good Food Awards, the restaurant’s menu changes seasonally and daily, based on what is caught locally. Craggy Range also has private dining spaces available; choose from the library or underground barrel hall.

Black Barn Bistro

During our opening hours we welcome walk-ins for coffee, drinks or our bar menu. This is available in front of our open fire or within our cocktail and wine bar. We recommend booking for our main a la carte dining menu. For bookings please follow the link below.

The Bistro is available for private functions and is also the perfect venue for a very limited number of weddings. Please see the contact below for Function & Wedding enquiries or have a look through our functions and weddings area on blackbarn.com for more information.

Ten Twenty Four

Ten Twenty Four is a simple, country eatery committed to local producers and inspired by the seasons. We embrace the region’s bounty through the seasons from farmers and purveyors who are committed to sustainable and sound practices. In many cases our growers and purveyors are vital partners in our endeavour and indeed in our lives. The joy then of a natural table through service and sympathetic cookery becomes also a resource that binds us all as family, business and friends.

We pride ourselves on using only the freshest ingredients from local growers here in the Hawkes Bay region.

Clearview Estate

The rustic al-fresco Restaurant at Clearview Estate Winery nestles among the vines in a well-established coastal setting near Te Kauwae a Māui | Cape Kidnappers. Specialising in lunch, celebrations, functions and weddings, the comprehensive seasonal menu features inspired and classical dishes using Hawke’s Bay produce.

Our earliest vision was to see Clearview Estate Wines being enjoyed with fine food, excellent service and great company. Further inspired by travels through Italy & northern Greece, this was the motivation for establishing our winery restaurant here in Te Awanga from 1991. We warmly invite you to join us at Clearview Estate whenever you are in Heretaunga | Hawke’s Bay, to experience a day of relaxed enjoyment.

Cape Kidnappers

Food and wine are highlights of any visit here. Conde Nast Traveller Magazine UK listed The Farm at Cape Kidnappers within its 2011 Gold List and named it Best for Food among an outstanding line-up of worldwide luxury hotels.

The Farm offers gourmet à la carte dining in a number of unique lodge locations and there is also a wine tasting room and cellar showcasing top wines from New Zealand and beyond.

Monica Loves

A small bar down a lane serving worldly-inspired bites with wines, cocktails & craft beers.

Elephant Hill

Established in 2003, Elephant Hill is located within a stone’s throw of the Pacific Ocean on the idyllic Te Awanga coast of Hawke’s Bay on New Zealand’s North Island.

The winemaking at Elephant Hill is driven by tradition while not losing sight of what innovation can bring to the blend. Our aim is to make wines that are balanced and elegant and a true expression of the vineyards they come from.
