We had seen the winery as we traveled to Queenstown and were enthralled by the location and the sight of the access road winding its way around the side of the hill. It had us hooked so we drove out one day and had a great time. The road in is a real part of the experience but is an... More

The road is a little daunting, being one lane and gravel, but there are lots of passing bays and the trip is worth it. At the end is a lovely cellar, delightful and knowledgeable staff and lovely wines. Well worth a visit

Have always thought about going into see what the wines are like at chard farm. Finally went in this year and kick myself for not going in earlier. Chard farm has the best chardonnay that i have tasted in central otago, all their wines are very good and as good if not better than the wines at the better known... More

Quirky narrow dirt road is pat of the experience to the holy grail. At the end of the rainbow as a beautiful setting that is picture perfect. Quite often I get worried when I see this normally means a commercial sterile offer. But alas no! Cellar door full of great wine served by passionate people. Rarely do I visit a... More

Highly recommended even for those who are not into wine. The drive in to the farm is impressive and the farm is gorgeous. Perfect for those who are in photography. The warm and friendly vintner made our visit even more special. To those who are nearby Kawarau Bungy Jump, put this into your itinerary as well.

Our Wine Tour took us to Chard Farm on a very windy day, but we drove along stopping for views of Bungy Bridge before arriving at this impressive winery with love gardens and a really cool sculpture of a lady on a bike all made from wood. We tried nine wines today and I bought their Judge and Jury Chardonnay... More
