An elegant new ritual is arriving at the polo grounds this season, as the patio of the TD Pavilion is transformed for a Macallan & Martini moment—a refined pregame gathering designed to set the tone for the day ahead. Opening ahead of each match, this stylish enclave invites guests to arrive early, settle in, and ease into the rhythm of the afternoon as anticipation builds on the grounds of BD Field.
Hosted by The Macallan, the experience will feature a curated menu of signature serves—from impeccably stirred gin martinis to crafted scotch whisky cocktails—each designed to complement the sophistication of the setting. The space itself, envisioned by Kadeema, will blend polished outdoor lounge furnishings, tailored details, and thoughtful design elements that elevate the pregame hour into a destination in its own right.
More than a lounge, the Macallan & Martini lounge is conceived as a social prelude—where guests gather, reconnect, and toast the start of another memorable afternoon at Newport Polo. As glasses clink and conversation flows, the energy builds naturally toward the first chukker, creating a seamless transition from elegant leisure to the thrill of international competition.
Arrive early, linger stylishly, and let the moment set the match in motion.
The Macallan single malt scotch whisky brings Newport Polo fans an unrivalled commitment to the mastery of wood and spirit since 1824. Curated by The Cocktail Guru, bringing people together for memorable moments with satisfying beverages, because a good time with great people is a pleasure. With an exquisite drink, it’s sublime.
