If you enjoy outstanding wine and the thrill of terror, this winery is a must for you. For the terror and just before you get to Chard Farm, you can either enjoy the best bungee jump in the world or try the shotover jet - both there to thrill or terrify you. If you need more, now is your chance... More

Chard Farm is well worth the rather hair-raising drive. The road is actually not that scary once you are on it! It just looks that way from across the river. The wines are top notchj. Recommended More

This is the vinyard you can see by air on the dramatic approach to airport. Great to see it on "TERRA FIRMA" Another great wine tasting experience in Central Otago. More

The drive in alone was well worth the visit, and it gave us a good view of the bridge we jumped off! What I enjoyed most about this visit was the genuine pride they took in the wine, and explaining the subtle differences to the customer. We left with a pinot gris and a better understanding of the process. Well... More

The narrow dusty road, with the big dropoffs over the edge was a bit nerve wracking but the staff were very friendly and the wine very tasty. More

If you suffer from vertigo may be this is not the winery to visit because the 2km entry track could be scary with a sheer cliff on one side. However, the winery is delightful, the wine excellent and the whole experience well worth the effort. More
