"We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Clearview. My choices - seared tuna with avocado, wasabi and pickled vegetables was light and delicious, followed by smoked duck breast with a fig and orange salad. My partner enjoyed the duck terrine and pan fried blue cod. We shared a mille feuille - not quite a thousand layers, only 2 and somewhat firm to cut with just a spoon. Waiting staff were great until we ordered the dessert from a wait person who had no idea what we were ordering and sent another staff member to clarify. At this point the coffee order was lost but we were compensated with a local port. Altogether it was a lovely, relaxing experience and one we'll be happy to replicate in the future. The Black Reef Blush was a delicious compliment to the meal."

"An memorable tasting!
I brought a group of international clients for a Hawke’s Bay wine tasting experience, and Tim absolutely delivered! His warm, witty hosting style had everyone smiling, and the wines were just as generous as he was.
The entire Clearview team made us feel welcome, and appreciated, carefully wrapping up each purchases like treasures to ensure safe journey to their new homes.
An unexpected invitation to stroll through the vines and winery with a glass in hand was the perfect touch.
Huge thanks to Tim and crew — a standout experience our guests will be talking about for a long time."
