Napier cycling wine trail day trip

Three wineries have been chosen. Mission (1851) is chosen for the experience of a vineyard, similar to Sevenhills in the Clare Valley established by pioneering French Missionaries.

The second choice is Black Barn due to the position of their bistro in the middle of the vineyard evoking a rustic charm coupled with an excellent lunch menu. Forget about the packed lunch. It’s all sorted.

The third winery is the well known Craggy Range Havelock North. A reputable vineyard and worth checking out their extensive cellar door.

• Black Barn Vineyards: Black Barn (Havelock North) is a boutique vineyard and their bistro is in the midst of the vineyard, with an emphasis on freshly grown Hawke’s Bay produce. Recommended is the small bites menu to keep your energy levels up. Plan your trip around the Saturday growers market. Open from 9 till Noon every Saturday of summer just follow the line of cars down Black Barn Road to the carparks and you’ll see the market under the trees beside the underground cellars. Of course if you’re staying in one of our properties, just grab your market bag and stroll through the vines.
