About Taradale
Taradale is a 10 minute drive from the centre of the tourist destination of Napier City and with over a third of Napier’s population, is one of the most important areas in the region, with one of the highest socio-economic demographic profiles in the Hawke's Bay. Many of Taradale's residents commute to the Napier or Hastings CBDs and prefer rural or suburban life as opposed to the city life of central Napier.
Taradale is a prosperous, established community nestled against the Taradale hills in an area rich in wine heritage dating back as far as the 1850s. Two of the most famous vineyards in Hawkes Bay, Mission Estate and Church Road Winery, are located in the area and together attract over 300,000 tourists annually. Mission Estate Winery, founded in 1851 and occupying its present site since 1897, is the oldest New Zealand winery that is still in operation.
