Beer and Wine Tastings Come to San Francisco's Baseball Stadium: Baseball Has Now Gone Upscale?

Arthur Kirk
Baseball is commonly associated with cracker jacks, hot dogs, and beer. Well, the San Francisco Giants are taking that offering to the next level for their guests in suites. How about having a wine tasting at your next game? Yes, you saw that correctly, in San Francisco you can no longer see Barry Bonds when you attend a game but you can enjoy a wine tasting if you are sitting in a suite. So much for that blue collar crowd mentality at baseball games. Of course if wine isn't your thing, there are also other tastings available in the suites including both beer and microbrew tastings.

When you book a suite at AT&T Park, you have the option of adding some upscale activities for your guests. Baseball might be an All American Sport, but the All American food at AT&T Park is supplemented with your choice of a variety of red and white wines, micro brew beers, or unique spirits if you want to impress your guests. Of course all of these options are at an additional cost, but it is something unique to AT&T Park that no other baseball stadium currently offers. Beer and Wine tastings might be something that spreads to other stadium suite levels throughout the country if they remain popular at AT&T Park in San Francisco, the home of the San Francisco Giants.

Of course with being so close to Napa Valley, the wine tasting is themed around the local offerings of California wine country. Along with your choice of wines, you will have a menu chosen to compliment the wine choice as well as an education about the local wines from your own sommelier. The spirit tasting offering also gives you a large choice of spirits to choose from including whiskeys, cognacs, rum, scotch, and vodka offerings just to name a few. With the spirit tasting you are also given a selection of food to compliment your drink selections.

The beer tasting does try to combine the upscale flavors of micro brew beers with the traditional baseball atmosphere. You are given a choice of micro brews not only from the San Francisco area, but throughout the world. Along with these your food selection is more traditional. It includes the traditional baseball food selections of hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, pretzels, and peanuts just to name a few choices.

So, if you are looking to host a special occassion, AT&T Park in San Francisco gives you some unique options you will not find at other baseball stadiums throughout the country. Keep in mind the wine tasting, spirit tasting, and beer tastings are only offered in the suite level. So, why not celebrate with AT&T Park and the San Francisco Giants. These tastings are great additions in the suites for birthday parties, anniversaries, engagement parties, corporate events, and just to celebrate the fact that it is baseball season and the beautiful view AT&T Park offers in San Francisco while watching the Giants.
