Bolney English Wine, the Sussex based producer of award-winning English wines with over 50 years of heritage, will return for a second consecutive year as the Official Sparkling Wine Partner of North Sails Cowes Week’s 2026 Bicentenary Regatta, taking place from 1–7 August 2026.

The partnership brings together two proudly British brands, offering competitors and guests the opportunity to toast one of the landmark moments in British sporting history with Bolney’s award-winning Classic Cuvée.

Recognised as one of England’s pioneering wine producers, Bolney has built a strong reputation for crafting premium sparkling and still wines from the Sussex countryside, whilst supporting some of the UK’s leading sporting and cultural events. Their continued partnership reinforces the events position among Britain’s great summer sporting occasions.

Bolney’s presence will be seen and enjoyed throughout the Regatta, with their sparkling wines being served at the prestigious North Sails Cowes Week Cocktail Party at the Royal Yacht Squadron, as well as across key new hospitality venues.

Bob Trimble, Chair of Cowes Week Limited, commented: 
“We’re pleased to welcome back Bolney Wine Estate back and celebrate the best of British for the North Sails Cowes Week Bicentenary. Bolney’s sparkling wines are a fantastic addition to the regatta’s social programme and we look forward to celebrating with Bolney’s excellent sparkling wines.”
