The Seattle Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena recently announced a partnership with Ackley Brands, a local family-run distribution company that represents regional wineries that include Columbia Winery, Betz Family Winery, Montinore Estate, and Charles Smith.
This has culminated in The Cove, an eye-catching, wood-paneled wine bar located in the arena’s American Express Hall, modeled after its recently opened South Lake Union counterpart. There are also two new wine windows in the WaFD Bank and Symetra Clubs.
These additions all serve more than a dozen quality vintages and styles from Ackley’s extensive portfolio, adding to the arena’s reputation as a culinary-forward event space.
“This partnership is a celebration of the Pacific Northwest — exceptional wines, local pride, and a strong commitment to sustainability. We’re honored to pour our wines at Climate Pledge Arena and to share them with Kraken fans and the diverse events that make this venue such an iconic gathering place,” said Ackley’s president, Brandon Ackley.
