We went to four vineyards that day: one charged 20 bucks for tasting (!), two were passable, Chard Farm was hands down the best, the friendliest, and had some of the best wine I've ever had.
FYI it's free tasting with any purchase or they ask for a ten dollar donation to the local hospice. Pretty decent arrangement.
Friendly staff and some great wines. Location is amazing as well. $10 donation (to a local charity) for wine tasting, but if a bottle is purchased then that is void. Seems common among the vineyards.
Maybe the most picturesque vineyard in all of Aotearoa, and beautiful wines to match.
Fantastic wines in a truly stunning setting. Possibly the best driveway in the world!
Be careful if you're biking here on a windy day. Once you arrive you'll be delighted by the wine. The tasting is based on donation.
Amazing wine. Wonderful and friendly staff! We purchased a few bottles from here
Extremely knowledgable staff, and exceptional wines. The Pinor Noir is the best ive had!
Great wines and nice to try their unoaked Chardonnay which is really good! It's not just about the reds! But don't be an idiot and try park on the road there so you can take a photo
