Thank you so much to Connie and her team.
We went to Peacock Sky today with not a lot of hope that I was going to find something I could eat from the menu as I'm not allowed any form of sugar and she came and sat down with us and went through every ingredient of every meal to find something I could eat.. changed a main around a bit and next thing we know, we are eating delicious meals listening to live music.. we could have stayed all day.. highly recommend to everyone that they look this place up when in Waiheke. It's a bit off the main road but well worth the drive up the hill.
We will be back �
Went here at the recommendation of a lovely couple we met while in the island and my sister had recommended more than once so we finally went. We just sorry we hadn't been here on previous visits to Waiheke. We had the degustation style tastings - the hostess informed us well about the wine � which was easy to drink and the accompanying food tastings were delectable and a teaser of what was to come with our main meal. We all enjoyed our main as well. I highly recommend Peacock Sky � we were also fortunate to meet Connie the owner /and chef � where we were able to enjoy her rice pudding and fruit dessert as well as fried lemon peel. The service was fantastic. Great day out thanks to the hospitable Peacock Sky.Also try the limencello and take a bottle home.
We ordered the Asian Pork Belly 7/10, Seared Tuna 8/10, Duck a l'orange 7/10, Salmon starter special 8/10, Buenos Aires for dessest 7/10. Vineyard is run by a lovely couple. A place to treat yourself once in a while.
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!
I love checking out the vineyards on Waiheke so today despite the weather we headed out to Peacock Sky for lunch. The food was delish and the wine great. They do a great wine tasting if you just want to pop in and sample some wine.
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 rosé 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 rosé and bubbles...
And that's not it oh wonderful desserts...
Ooooh and I forgot spot on customer service..
A must go place...
One of the few wineries on Waihrke island that does degustation tastings with wine for all group sizes, the wine tasting itself was fantastic and the food was amazing. Was great to hear about the history of the vineyard as well, thanks to the lovely staff who made our experience all the more enjoyable. A must do on Waiheke!

We went in on a wine tour of Waiheke and did one of the wine tastings with food paring which we all found to be quite interesting I SO want to head back for the full menu though as it looked fabulous!
Did the wine tasting and it was so fun. The food that was paired with the wine was perfect! I will need to come back to try more of the menu
Outstanding- go here before any other vineyard. Really good they don't tolerate rude drunk hen's party people. Actually the rest of the world doesn't care you're getting married and it doesn't give you a license to be rude and drunk and offensive at the detriment to other guests! Exceptional service, exceptional food - highly recommend lamb shanks and beef cheeks. Dog friendly ! Love it! Go here !
We had the most amazing lunch up in the "Sky" today. Beautiful setting, amazing food and a fantastic rose 🌹. Kim did the wine tasting - said it was brilliant.
Probably our favourite vineyard to visit when we go to Waiheke. Great food, wine and views. Also it is a much smaller scale vineyard compared to some of the main tourist ones so you get a much more authentic experience.
Made my way across the island to this vineyard 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, and the yummy little food pairings made it extra fun!

Choice little winery. Excellent food great tasting wine. Pity you can't buy the brand outside the island. Excellent wine tasting with perfect sample tasters to go along with the wine.
Only negative from our experience was one of the managers was in a foul mood and treated us very negatively compared to the other members of our tour.
Went there for wine tasting, excellent service, very good idea to have a food pairing for each wine, although the food tastes average. Still worth the drive up the hill and a bit of gravel road.
We tasted an excellent selection selection of wines and the pairing with the food was outstanding.
Definitely a winery to put on your list. Delicious wines, more than sensibly priced tastings, and a personal touch that some of the other wineries can learn from.
My absolute favourite vineyard on the island. There's something special about each and every one of them... but this is hands down my favourite.
Their tasting is the best I've ever been to!
Awesome spot with a great wine tasting with food pairing. We were lucky enough to have the owner taking us through, so she had an excellent knowledge and did an absolutely excellent job of explaining everything. We then sat down to a beautiful lunch with a lovely wine selected from the tasting. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and presented. The place was spot on! Highly recommend it!
