Par Then Bar Open Golf Tournament: Where Wine Industry Networking Meets Opportunity

Beyond branding—connect with key decision-makers in a relaxed, high-impact setting

The Par Then Bar Open® (PTBO) Golf Tournament, presented by APS Packaging & MBF North America, will be held on May 16, 2025, at Eagle Vines Golf Club in American Canyon. The tournament is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year, so it is your chance to be part of an exclusive wine industry tradition that blends competition, camaraderie, and connection. This event is more than just a day on the greens—it’s a unique opportunity for wine industry vendors to build valuable relationships, enhance brand visibility, and foster meaningful relationships within the wine and spirits community. 

Why Sponsor PTBO? Sponsoring PTBO isn’t just about having your logo on a sign—it’s about engaging directly with key decision-makers in a relaxed and social setting. With attendees ranging from CEOs, winemakers, general managers, operations leaders, and packaging specialists, the event offers vendors an unparalleled opportunity to showcase their products, services, and expertise in an environment designed for relationship-building rather than hard selling.

Each sponsor is given a dedicated booth at a hole, providing a natural and informal setting to interact with industry professionals as they make their way through the course. Unlike traditional trade shows, where attendees are often overwhelmed with sales pitches, PTBO fosters organic conversations and genuine networking moments that lead to long-term business partnerships.

Brand Visibility & Exclusive Engagement. The PTBO sponsorship program offers a high-impact way to increase brand awareness within the industry. From branded swag bags and on-course signage to digital promotions and social media exposure, sponsors benefit from a multi-channel marketing boost that extends beyond the event itself.

 Additionally, PTBO is a free-to-attend event for the wine and spirits business community, which is made possible entirely through sponsorships. That means your support not only provides your company with direct access to key industry players but also reinforces your brand’s commitment to the wine industry’s growth and community-building efforts.

More Than a Game: A Strategic Networking Event. As Alberto Migliardi, CEO of APS Packaging and creator of PTBO, emphasizes, “It’s not just a business event; it’s a moment of joy, a moment of gathering, a moment of exchange.” This philosophy is what makes PTBO stand out—it’s an opportunity for sponsors to engage with current and potential clients in a setting where connections happen naturally.

Beyond the course, the event concludes with an awards dinner and after-party, providing further touchpoints to interact with attendees in a more casual and enjoyable setting.
