Get ready for a gameday unlike any other! Barefoot Wine, the "Official Wine Sponsor of the NFL," is teaming up with none other than Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, to create the ultimate NFL experience.
If you’ve ever dreamed of sipping wine and watching football with a literal GOAT (greatest of all time), this might just be your shot. Barefoot and Biles are offering fans a VIP experience to the Green Bay vs. Chicago showdown on November 17, 2024.
Yes, you read that right. It’s all happening inside Barefoot’s ‘BandWAGon Box,’ a luxurious suite at the stadium. And one lucky fan (plus three friends) will snag tickets to the game and hang out with Simone herself!
It's the kind of win-win scenario that feels almost too good to be true, like a perfectly paired wine and cheese board. So, what’s the catch? Just a quick Instagram comment could be your ticket in!
Wine, NFL, and Simone Biles? Yes, please!
Let’s break it down: Barefoot Wine, the most awarded wine brand in the U.S. with over 10,000 accolades, is doubling down on its “BandWAGon Box” experience this year.
After a successful launch last year that combined football fun with wine tastings, they’re back with even bigger plans.
And who better to add to the mix than Simone Biles, who’s not only a legendary gymnast but also an NFL WAG (that’s “wives and girlfriends,” for the uninitiated) - her husband, Jonathan Owens, plays for the Green Bay Packers.
“I understand that learning about football and wine can feel very overwhelming," Biles explained, “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.”
Her game plan for the event? Keeping things fun, casual, and accessible, just like Barefoot’s award-winning wines.
And here’s the kicker: it doesn’t matter if you’re a die-hard Packers fan, a loyal Bears supporter, or just there for the halftime snacks.
As Beth Orozco, VP of Marketing at Gallo (Barefoot’s parent company), put it, “Football fandom should be as fun and accessible as choosing your favorite wine.” In other words, whatever team you root for, this contest is for everyone.
If you’re ready to jump into the action, visit Barefoot’s Instagram (@barefootwine) and leave a comment saying why you want to win the experience of a lifetime. You’ve got until October 31 to enter, so put down that glass of merlot (just for a sec) and make your case.
If luck’s on your side, you might just find yourself sipping wine in the BandWAGon Box with Simone, watching one of the fiercest rivalries in the NFL.
