The Fastest-growing Sport in the World Is Taking Over a Hamptons Vineyard for an All-star Weekend

With more than 25 million players in 110 countries, padel really is taking over. Often touted as the fastest-growing sport in the world, interest in padel has never been stronger. And now, the Pro Padel League (PPL) announced it’s entering into a partnership with Wölffer Estate Vineyard to stage the Wölffer Estate Vineyard PPL All-Star 2025 and showcase the sport at its best.

This Labor Day weekend, padel will take over the Hamptons estate for its first-ever major sports activation on its own custom-built court located amid Wölffer’s gorgeous grapevines. 

“Padel is exploding worldwide, and Wölffer Estate Vineyard is the perfect backdrop to showcase its energy,” Mike Dorfman, the CEO of the PPL, shared in a statement. “We’re bringing the pulse of padel to the Hamptons in a way that is exhilarating on the court and extraordinary off it. We believe the event will show the cultural experience that is possible when world-class athletes, iconic settings, and unparalleled hospitality come together.” 

The weekend’s main event is Saturday’s marquee exhibitions, which is when fans can come watch the world’s top professional padel players compete alongside the best in the U.S. Guests can snag premium viewing from private cabanas, where they can also sip on Wölffer’s acclaimed wines, along with their non-alcoholic offerings, as they also drink in those famed vineyard views. 

The three-day event will also include a professional-amateur tournament, curated social experiences, and plenty of other activations that will make you want to get out on the court, too. 

“At Wölffer Estate, we’ve always believed in blending tradition with innovation, and the upcoming Pro Padel League All-Star competition is a perfect example,” Marc Wölffer, the estate’s founder, shared with Travel + Leisure. “It’s an exciting partnership that brings together lifestyle, health, and quality—the very values our winery stands for. We’re thrilled to host an event that not only celebrates sport but also creates a unique experience in the heart of the Hamptons.” 

Tickets to the event and other hospitality packages for Wölffer Estate Vineyard PPL All-Star 2025 are available at tixr.com starting at $1,000 for individual tickets. Those looking for the full VIP experience, including access to a cabana for six guests, can expect to pay around $12,000. Availability is limited, so if you want a front-row seat, make sure to book ASAP. 

This event is far from the only thing the estate has going on this summer and fall. It also hosts music nights every single Friday, Yoga in the Vines events, and Wine, Women, and Wisdom panels, so if padel isn’t your thing, don’t worry—there are more happenings to love. Though we do get the feeling that if you swing that racket just once, you’ll be hooked like the rest of the world, too.
