GETTING TO MISSION ESTATE WINERY  

If you're going over SH5 Napier Taupo Highway we recommend factoring in at least half an hour extra for time. 

The road is either 30km or 80kmph, and with lots of damage on the road particularly from Te Pohue,  and on the approach to Esk Valley, it is 30 km all the way to the Napier turnoff.  All this with the additional extra traffic will mean a slow trip!

You can stop off at the Z Station in Taupo near the turnoff for a loo break.
