KLM has released its newest Delft Blue miniature house, continuing a tradition that has become one of the airline’s most recognisable symbols of Dutch heritage.
Each year on 7 October, marking KLM’s founding date, the airline unveils a new ceramic house gifted to passengers travelling in World Business Class on intercontinental routes .
For its 107th anniversary, KLM has chosen Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre, a family‑run winery in Dreischor, Zeeland, as the subject of House No. 107 . The winery sits on the edge of the village, on land shaped by centuries of reclamation from the sea, where sea clay, sunshine and coastal air create ideal conditions for grape growing .
A Landmark in Dutch Winemaking
De Kleine Schorre has grown into one of the largest wineries in the Netherlands, with more than 60,000 vines across 14 hectares . Its relationship with KLM is long‑standing: since 2006, the winery has supplied wines for KLM’s World Business Class service, making this year’s Delft Blue house a symbolic nod to a two‑decade partnership .
A Collector’s Tradition
KLM’s Delft Blue houses date back to the 1950s, each depicting a real Dutch building and filled with Dutch gin. They have become highly sought‑after collector’s items among frequent flyers and aviation enthusiasts worldwide .
The airline encourages collectors to track their growing sets through the Delft Blue Houses app, which includes the stories behind each miniature and digital tools for cataloguing personal collections .
A Celebration of Dutch Craft and KLM Heritage
With House No. 107, KLM continues to blend aviation tradition with Dutch cultural storytelling — honouring a winery that reflects the country’s agricultural innovation and coastal identity. As always, the miniature will be available exclusively to passengers flying in KLM’s intercontinental Business Class.
