Adelaide 36ers to Raise a Glass with Bleasdale

The Adelaide 36ers have announced a new partnership with one of South Australia’s most storied institutions, Bleasdale Vineyards, who join as the club’s official wine partner for the upcoming season.

Founded in 1850 and celebrating its 175th anniversary, Bleasdale Vineyards is a sixth-generation, family-owned winery and the founding vineyard of the Langhorne Creek wine region.

Known for its award-winning wines and deep-rooted community ties, Bleasdale’s heritage aligns strongly with the values of the 36ers.

Commenting on the partnership, 36ers CEO Nic Barbato, said: “It is always exciting for us as a club to use our gamedays and events to elevate South Australian brands.”

“Bleasdale is an iconic local institution with a rich tradition and a focus on quality and family. It’s a perfect fit for the 36ers family,” Barbato said.

Expressing pride in the collaboration, Bleasdale General Manager Leigh Warren, added: “Supporting the Adelaide 36ers is a privilege for us. We’re excited about the team’s upcoming season and proud to align with a club that shares our dedication to excellence and community connection.”

Warren also noted a symbolic link between the two organisations, referencing Bleasdale founder Frank Potts, who arrived in South Australia on the HMS Buffalo in 1836 — a nod to the state’s early history.

As part of the partnership:

• Bleasdale wines will be served in game day function areas including the Legends Room and Coors Cold Club Deck at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

• Guests will also enjoy their wines at club events, such as the Sixers in Business Luncheons.

• The partnership highlights a shared commitment to community and success on and off the court.

As the Adelaide 36ers gear up for the new season with a refreshed roster and renewed energy, the partnership with Bleasdale adds a celebratory local flavour for fans and guests alike.
