“We truly could not have asked for a better experience at Presqu’ile Winery. From beginning to end, the entire team went above and beyond to make our surprise proposal incredibly special.

We started the day with horseback riding, where Shawnee was amazing in helping coordinate everything and even taking photos for us during the proposal. On our way back, Hollie was there waiting to welcome us with sparkling wine, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to continue the celebration.

A huge thank you to Alex as well. I had spoken with her over the phone beforehand, and she helped coordinate everything behind the scenes and made sure the entire team knew the game plan. It made the whole experience feel completely seamless.

Hollie then took wonderful care of us during our tasting, serving an assortment of wines along with incredible gourmet food. Afterward, Matt gave us a tour of the facility and made the experience even more memorable. Lindsay was also absolutely amazing and incredibly accommodating with every request we had.

The amount of thought, communication, and genuine hospitality from everyone at Presqu’ile exceeded anything I could have asked for. You all played such a special part in a day that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.

We are beyond thankful and will 100% be back. Thank you to Shawnee, Hollie, Alex, Matt, Lindsay, and the entire Presqu’ile team for making our engagement so special!“

“My husband and I recently visited the tasting room and the hospitality is unmatched! Barbara was so kind! On their website it says reservation only but we were able to walk right in!!

They had two different tasting flights, one that was reds only and another that was a mix of reds and whites. I prefer red wines so I was thankful to see that offered in this area. We ended up getting three different bottles of their reds since we couldn't decide on just one. The prices are very reasonable! They even have a really cute merchandise area that's very well curated. Drinking wine and shopping?! The perfect pair! I'll be visiting again very soon! If you site on the patio, there are beautiful views of the Santa Ynez valley.“

“Definitely worth a visit to see the amazing wine caves, then stay for the great wine!“

“Really enjoyed the wines and tasting experience as well. Cute ambiance with spacious and comfortable seating. Had to join their wine club.“

“I recently ordered a gift basket from Peacock Winery for a friend’s wedding, and I have to say, it was absolutely stunning! The basket was beautifully put together and really captured her style—it was the perfect gift for her big day! Peacock has such a cool “locals only” vibe. It’s one of those hidden gems you’d only find if you take the back roads, and it’s definitely worth the trip. The venue is gorgeous, and their wine is top-notch. The staff was super friendly and really made the whole experience enjoyable. If you’re looking for something special, whether it’s a gift or just a great place to relax with some amazing wine, I can’t recommend Peacock Winery enough. You’ll love it 😍“
