One lucky contest winner and three friends will attend the Green Bay @ Chicago game on Nov.
17 alongside Biles

MODESTO, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — America’s most awarded wine brand, Barefoot, is teaming up with America’s most awarded gymnast (and WAG), Simone Biles. As the Official Wine Sponsor of the NFL, Barefoot is launching a contest offering fans a chance at an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience to watch the Green Bay vs. Chicago rivalry game on November 17 with Biles. One lucky fan and their three friends will get the opportunity to enjoy the NFL ‘WAG’ (wives and girlfriends) gameday experience alongside Biles, from pregame sideline access to watching the game from Barefoot’s ‘BandWAGon Box’ suite. Launched today on Barefoot’s Instagram channel (@barefootwine), the contest is open to all NFL fans – regardless of team allegiance or their knowledge of the sport.

With more than 10,000 accolades, Barefoot is the most awarded wine brand in America, much like the G.O.A.T Simone Biles, who’s widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. As an NFL WAG with personal ties to this long-standing rivalry, Biles is the ideal partner to welcome NFL fans to the game, no matter who they are rooting for or how long they’ve been a fan.

“I understand that learning about football and wine can feel very overwhelming, but as a fan of the NFL and Barefoot Wine, I can speak from experience that you don’t need to know every sequence in the playbook or grape variety to enjoy both,” said Biles. “But trust me, the rivalry between  Chicago and Green Bay is real and the BandWAGon Box experience is going to be a lot of fun!”

This partnership expands Barefoot’s Bandwagon Box program, launched last year to welcome emerging NFL fans to the sport and included a guided tasting with Jen Wall, Barefoot winemaker. “Last year we were so excited to show people how wine, like football, doesn’t have to be complicated and provided our fans with fun food pairings and our winners with a tasting in the suite,” said Jen Wall.  “This year, we’re proud to tout our accomplishments in winemaking alongside one of the most awarded athletes of all time and ensuring our fans know they can find an award-winning wine at a great price point.”   

Beth Orozco, Vice President of Marketing at GALLO added “Barefoot believes that football fandom should be as fun and accessible as choosing your favorite wine. Whether you cheer for Green Bay, Chicago, or switch between the two, being a fan doesn’t need to be complicated and we’re proud to partner with Simone to share that message. Learning about the NFL and Barefoot wine in a truly unique gameday experience will allow us to collectively deepen the connection with fans and show how easy both wine and football can be.”

To enter the contest, fans can visit @barefootwine on Instagram to leave a comment about why they want to win the Barefoot ‘BandWAGon Box’ gameday experience with Simone. Enter between 12:00 a.m. (ET) on October 24, 2024, and 11:59 p.m. (ET) on October 31, 2024. Full contest Rules and Regulations can be found at https://apfco.com/secure/K401R.

The countdown has officially begun for food and baseball enthusiasts as the Puerto Rico Wine & Food Festival gears up for an exciting inaugural event, ‘Taste of the Major Leagues,’ set to take place on November 20, 2024. Presented by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, this unique event promises to be a culinary feast that marries the vibrant flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine with the thrill of Major League Baseball.

A Flavorful Kickoff to a Grand Festival

Hosted at the picturesque La Concha Resort in San Juan, the ‘Taste of the Major Leagues’ event is more than just a prelude to the main festival scheduled for April 3-6, 2025. This gathering will bring together culinary talents and baseball legends, creating an unforgettable experience for all attendees. The event will be hosted by renowned Chef Mario Pagán, with sports icons Carlos Beltrán and Carlos Delgado as co-hosts, both World Series champions with a deep-rooted love for Puerto Rican culture and cuisine.

Chef Pagán expressed immense excitement, stating, “This is an opportunity for us all to come together and celebrate the rich and diverse flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine.” His sentiments resonate with the festival’s vision to showcase the island’s culinary talent while honoring its cultural heritage.

Meet the Stars of the Show

Attendees can look forward to not just exceptional food and drinks, but also the chance to mingle with baseball superstars. Former New York Yankees pitcher Javier Vázquez, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora, and 2008 National League Rookie of the Year Geovany Soto are among the notable players making an appearance. This unique blend of gastronomy and athletics captures the spirit of Puerto Rico, uniting two beloved aspects of Puerto Rican culture.

Beltrán emphasized the importance of the event for community support, articulating, “It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our shared passions while raising funds to support our young athletes.” The event will benefit institutions like the Carlos Beltrán Baseball Academy and Delgado’s Extra Bases Foundation, reflecting a commitment to giving back to the community.

A Festival with a Purpose

Beyond an indulgent culinary experience, the Puerto Rico Wine & Food Festival represents a broader mission: to enrich the community through culinary education. The festival will actively support Puerto Rico Eats for Good, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing scholarships and hands-on training for aspiring chefs. This initiative aligns perfectly with the festival’s emphasis on sustainable growth in the culinary sector.

As Robert Weakley, the founder of the Puerto Rico Wine & Food Festival, aptly noted, “Their passion and expertise will elevate the event and also help us raise awareness and strengthen our bond within the community.” This intention reinforces the festival’s aim to highlight Puerto Rico as a premier food destination while fostering relationships among local talent.
