MILWAUKEE (April 3, 2026) – The Milwaukee Bucks have formed a marketing partnership with Kendall-Jackson, one of the country’s most recognized family-owned wineries.

“We’re thrilled to team up with the Bucks and bring Kendall-Jackson to one of the most passionate basketball communities in the NBA,” said Chris Jackson, Co-Proprietor of Kendall-Jackson. “Unforgettable game moments create a special pairing with a glass of premier wine, and we can’t wait to share those experiences with Bucks fans.”

Through the partnership, Bucks premium members and partners will have access to a series of exclusive events designed to complement the excitement of Bucks basketball. Throughout the month of March, the Bucks and Kendall-Jackson celebrated Women’s History Month by spotlighting the contributions of women in winemaking at select private events with wines crafted by parent company Jackson Family Wines’ women winemakers. The events honored the impact of women across industries while offering an elevated, curated experience.

“Teaming up with Kendall-Jackson furthers our commitment to enhancing the unique experiences available to our premium members,” said Matt Pazaras, Bucks Chief Business Development & Strategy Officer. “We’re excited to celebrate the community, culture and energy of Bucks basketball with our members through this partnership.”

The collaboration marks another milestone in Kendall-Jackson’s growing presence across professional basketball since announcing its multiyear partnership with the NBA in early 2024. More information about Kendall-Jackson, the Official Wine of the NBA, is available at www.kj.com.
