I wish (at the present time of speaking) I had gone to the party (the party which has already happened and therefore I have missed).

I'm not sure what you're asking. Maybe I'm completely misreading your question.

I think it is present tense (I wish) and past perfect tense (I had gone).

past regrets: wish + past perfect

to express regret about past situations, we use wish with the past perfect
a construction that is used in a similar way to conditional sentences.

hope this helps.
