Spy Valley Wines, proud Gold Pass Sponsor and exclusive wine provider for Classic Fighters 2027, is celebrating remarkable international success after being named New Zealand Winery of the Year at the 2026 London Wine Competition.
In an extraordinary result, all seven wines entered by the Waihopai Valley winery were awarded Gold medals, including their acclaimed 2025 Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 2024 Chardonnay, and Envoy by Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

The London Wine Competition is judged by Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, and leading international industry experts, making Spy Valley’s achievement an outstanding endorsement of the quality and character that has made the family-owned Marlborough winery one of New Zealand’s most respected wine brands.
Classic Fighters attendees will be able to enjoy those award-winning wines firsthand with the Spy Valley Wines Gold Pass, shaping up to be one of the best ways to experience the airshow over Easter 2027. Gold Pass holders enjoy reserved grandstand seating, access to the Ritz Bar and hospitality area, complimentary tea and coffee, reserved parking, and buffet lunches (Saturday and Sunday) prepared by Chef Edward Drury and the South Sea Catering team.
With indoor and outdoor seating beside the flightline, relaxed hospitality, great food, and exclusive access to Spy Valley Wines throughout the event, the Gold Pass offers a memorable Classic Fighters experience both in the air and on the ground.
In the meantime, visitors to the Spy Valley Cellar Door can enjoy a glass of their celebrated Sauvignon Blanc for just $10 throughout May, along with 10% off any Sauvignon Blanc bottle purchased to take home.
