Raise a Glass Before Take-Off: No1 Lounges Celebrates English Wine Week with Hattingley Valley
As English Wine Week approaches, travellers passing through the airport can swap departure lounge chaos for a taste of the English countryside thanks to a sparkling new offering from No1 Lounges.
This summer, guests visiting selected Clubrooms and No1 Lounges locations will have the opportunity to celebrate Britain’s flourishing wine industry with a glass of premium English sparkling wine from Hattingley Valley before they jet off on holiday.
Whether heading for a sun-soaked Mediterranean escape, an ambitious long-haul adventure or a stylish city break, travellers can begin their journey with Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve NV, available for £12 per glass or £40 per bottle. The award-winning sparkling wine offers a sophisticated send-off and a distinctly British alternative to the traditional pre-flight prosecco or Champagne.
For wine lovers, the Classic Reserve NV is a standout choice. Having spent four years ageing on lees, the wine has developed added depth, richness and complexity, delivering crisp citrus notes alongside a rounded finish. It’s a fitting tribute to the rapid rise of English sparkling wine — a category that continues to gain international acclaim.
The partnership also reflects a growing appetite for homegrown luxury experiences. By bringing one of England’s most celebrated sparkling wines into the airport lounge setting, No1 Lounges is offering guests a moment of calm and indulgence before take-off.
Available across selected No1 Lounges and Clubrooms locations, the experience invites travellers to momentarily escape the bustle of the terminal and savour a slice of the English countryside — proving you don’t need to travel abroad to enjoy world-class sparkling wine.
Ahead of English Wine Week, I had the chance to experience the luxury of No1 Lounges at Heathrow, where the usual airport rush was replaced with a calm, premium atmosphere. Sipping a glass of Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve NV before my flight felt like the perfect send-off – crisp, elegant and a real celebration of Britain’s thriving sparkling wine scene. With plush surroundings, attentive service and a sophisticated pre-flight experience, it was a reminder that holiday indulgence can start long before boarding the plane…
