In 2025, the Gold Pass will become the Spy Valley Wines Gold Pass. One of New Zealand's most successful family-run wineries, the Marlborough-owned Spy Valley Wines, will also be the exclusive wine supplier of the air show.
The 3-day Gold Pass provides access to an exclusive area, reserved car parking and other privileges to make your time at Classic Fighters even more enjoyable. Chief among the benefits of the Spy Valley Wines Gold Pass is grandstand seating, which ensures the best view of all the action. A seat is guaranteed.
In 2025, a new layout will see the grandstand located adjacent to the Spy Valley Wines Gold Pass Marquee. This will allow pass-holders to view the flight line from both inside and outside the marquee. Ground-level outdoor seating will also be provided - perfect for those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground!
Another highlight of the Gold Pass experience is the bar! Channelling the glamour of the 1930s, The Ritz Bar will sell Spy Valley Wines, Renaissance Beers, and a range of non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Tea and coffee are complimentary.
The 3-Day ticket price includes lunch in the Spy Valley Wines Marquee, on Saturday and Sunday. We are pleased to welcome back Chef Edward Drury and the South Sea Catering team, who did a fantastic job in 2023.
In addition, 3-Day Gold Pass holders will receive a gift from Spy Valley, a printed air show programme and a souvenir cap. The pass also entitles the holder to one free admission to the Knights of the Sky exhibition at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Southern England, Edward Drury, the creative force behind The South Sea Catering Company, has found inspiration in New Zealand's vibrant culinary scene.
With a passion for ingredient-focused cooking, Edward celebrates the abundance of local, seasonal produce from Marlborough's vineyards, farmlands, and coastlines. His menus blend Kiwi heritage with European expertise, creating unique and bespoke dining experiences.
At South Sea, they are committed to sustainability and community support. By partnering with local producers, they ensure that every dish tantalises taste buds and contributes to the growth of our community.
We know you will enjoy Chef Edward's hearty and flavoursome dishes at the Spy Valley Wines Gold Pass Marquee.
