125 YEARS: FORGING A PROUD HERITAGE Since our journey began in 1897, the winemakers at Church Road have been at the forefront of the Hawke’s Bay winemaking region. And while our traditional techniques hold great importance, we have always balanced this with innovative ways to hone our skills and continue to create exceptional wines. Will visit either Church Road or Mission Estate whichever is available on the day (only 1 winery)
