Aperol® will return as an official sponsor of the 2024/2025 ASB Classic and will be bringing a slice of style to Auckland, from 30 December 2024 - 11 January 2025.

The APEROL Terrazza Bar, is set to be unveiled at the tennis for this summer’s ASB Classic, giving Kiwis the chance to enjoy the tennis with a touch of Italian flavour.

Following its popular debut at the 2023/2024 ASB Classic, Aperol is delighted to return for its second year as an official tournament sponsor.

“Nothing says summer more than tennis and Aperol, so we’re thrilled to be back this summer at the ASB Classic,” says Phil Restall, Managing Director, Thirsty Camel - A Joint Venture with Campari Group.

“The APEROL Terrazza Bar is the perfect place to soak up the traditions of Venice and savour the ritual of an Aperitivo, Aperol Spritz style, and we’re excited to bring this world-class brand experience to Auckland,” continues Restall.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Aperol, a brand that embodies the spirit of celebration and connection. Their vibrant energy and commitment to bringing people together align perfectly with the atmosphere we aim to create at the tournament,” Nicolas Lamperin, Tournament Director.

“When fans need a break from centre court or are looking for somewhere to chill out between matches, the APEROL Terrazza Bar will be serving up refreshing Aperol Spritzes and aperitivo snacks with a view of the big screens so there’s no need to miss a minute of the action,” says Restall. 

If you can’t make it to the ASB Classic, don’t worry - you can still capture the tennis vibe at home with Aperol. Bring the Aperol Terrazza Bar experience to your backyard by whipping up a classic Aperol Spritz, pairing it with delicious aperitivo snacks, and enjoying the match on screen with friends.

With its vibrant orange hue and refreshing bittersweet flavour, Aperol is the perfect companion to serve up a slice of Italian style and celebrate summer, wherever you are.
