Made my way across the island to this vinyard after reading some great reviews. Was so worth it! Such lovely staff who looked after me from the moment I arrived, had such a nice relaxing afternoon! Did a tasting with Andy who was very informative and great chat & the little food pairings with the tastings made it even more fun!Had the ravioli and the coconut mousse.. both DELICIOUS and gorgeous to look at. Did I mention the wine was amazing? Special thank you to the staff who all made me feel very welcome & to Fiona, who went above and beyond to help me get back across the island! Definitely recommend a visit when on Waiheke!
Went to a birthday lunch on Sat, 12 Jan. Where do I start, how about the salmon. This was something else. It was so over cooked. Maybe they forgot about it in the oven. This poor piece of salmon was paired with ONE tablespoon of rice and 3 leaves of salad. However, there was a chance for redemption, the signature cake. Well, turned out it was prepared with the same care as the salmon over cooked, dry and tough. This disappointing meal cost $45. Apart from the wonderful lady who presented our wine tasting, the rest of the staff seemed non-energetic, unhelpful, and unsure about their payment systems. Such a terrible experience.
Went for a friends birthday. The matre de wasnt very welcoming, sort of made out like she was doing us a favour and then the food was appalling. Tiny serving of dry salmon, a desert spoon of rice and a few mesculan leaves. Along with a piece of birthday cake was $45. Definitely not going back. Our orders were taken by a show of hands too. Not the kind of service you would expect from a nice vineyard.
To describe Peacock Sky simply is a bit difficult, as a lot of things went into making our experience wonderful. From the friendly hospitality of Chief Winemaker & Chef, Connie, to the delicious wine tasting and fresh food – it was all wonderful. Special mention should be made of our private wine tasting session with Laura, which was a delightful adventure of the senses. All in all, we loved the people, the wine and the food, and will definitely be back when we return to Waiheke Island.
A must taste and visit when in Waiheke! As part of the wine tour we stopped and sampled the pairing of food and wine with the experienced abs very passionate Connie who took us through Asia and Europe describing the surroundings, smells and delights of their beautifully crafted wines. I’m not going to insult the expertise of the degustation knowledge of this warm owner/ hostess but encourage you to try their wares. The day we arrived the restaurant was having some alterations completed but where we had the tasting was just as gorgeous. Four different wines paired with spring roll, home made meatballs, pumpkin soup and decadent brownie to die for. We purchased a home made chutney to take home and try: Cabernet Sauvignon & Date chutney cooked with caramelised onions, balsamic vinegar and Demerara sugar!
Peacock Sky is a charming little place with very warming hospitality.What I liked about the platters were its simplicity: hearty meatloaf, flavoursome scotch eggs lovely olive oil, tomatoes and olives.The sparkling ros was a little sweet for my liking, but the mixed blend Pinot Gris was a real winner.Once meals are done, I would suggest finding a seat outside in a comfy lounger and enjoy the surroundings. A very relaxing little spot and would love to come for the wine tasting next time.
We had an immaculate time at the Peacock Sky.Great customer service specifically the wine degustation tasting… From white to red…Very beautiful Red I must say…Followed by courtyard lunch with lovely tapas platter glass ros and bubbles… And that’s not it oh wonderful desserts… Ooooh and I forgot spot on customer service..A must go place…
