Spending a day (or several) at the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden usually involves three things: tennis, sun, and eventually deciding that a drink sounds like a very good idea. Fortunately, the tournament offers no shortage of options for responsibly hydrating yourself with something stronger than water.

This guide breaks down what you can expect when it comes to champagne, beer, cocktails, and wine throughout the grounds, so you’re not wandering around Stadium One asking strangers where the good stuff is.

Champagne & Sparkling Wine

If there is one brand that truly dominates the Indian Wells Tennis Garden during the tournament, it’s Moët & Chandon. Each year, Moët sets up a large, highly visible footprint featuring bars, shaded seating, and premium cabanas for those looking to go all-in on the champagne experience.

You can grab a glass of Moët on its own, or opt for the tournament’s signature cocktail:

• Tennis Paradise Cocktail – A refreshing mix of Moët Impérial, blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, and honey syrup.

Is it inexpensive? Absolutely not. Is it refreshing, photogenic, and very on-brand for a sunny afternoon of tennis? Also yes.

Beer

Beer is widely available throughout the grounds, with the most common offerings coming from major brands like Coors, Corona, and Modelo. You’ll find these at bars scattered across the Tennis Garden, including large outdoor beer setups and the main Sports Bar area.

If you’re willing to look around a bit, there are usually some craft and specialty options mixed in, often rotating year to year. In past tournaments, this has included selections from breweries like Ballast Point and Golden Road, available in certain stadium and lodge-level locations.

Expect most beers to land in the $10–$14 range, depending on size and brand. Cold, overpriced, and exactly what you want after baking in the sun for two sets.

Cocktails

Beyond champagne and beer, the Tennis Garden bars typically offer a solid lineup of classic and specialty cocktails. You’ll find multiple bars serving the same core drinks, which helps keep lines moving during peak hours.

Common cocktail options usually include:

• No-Fault Margarita – Often available in lime or strawberry, sometimes served in a collectible cup
• Frozen Cadillac Margarita – Made with premium orange liqueur
• Bloody Mary – A popular late-morning or early-afternoon choice

Many bars also offer standard mixed drinks using premium spirits, while the Sports Bar typically features a couple of extra specialty cocktails and frozen options.

Wine

Wine drinkers won’t be left out. Each year, the tournament partners with a major wine brand to provide selections throughout the grounds. In past tournaments, this has included familiar labels like Kim Crawford, offering:

• Sauvignon Blanc
• Chardonnay
• Pinot Noir

Wine is available by the glass at bars across the Tennis Garden and is a solid alternative if champagne feels like too much commitment before noon.

Good to Know

• Alcohol is available throughout the grounds, but service locations and brands can vary slightly each year.
• Prices are consistent with major sporting events, so plan accordingly.
• Security and ID checks are taken seriously.
• Hydration matters. Desert sun plus cocktails is a sneaky combination.

Whether you’re sipping champagne between matches, grabbing a cold beer in the shade, or nursing a margarita while people-watching, the BNP Paribas Open offers plenty of ways to enjoy a drink while taking in world-class tennis.

Cheers, drink responsibly, and enjoy your time at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
