Grown from a collective passion for fresh, creatively-inspired food and wine, Tastings Wine Bar & Bistro brings sophisticated fare to Foxborough via a menu of globally inspired dishes that use local farm-fresh ingredients (from the land and the sea). The wine list pulls bottles from all over the world, enabling wine drinkers to experience the best in flavor combinations whether they're trying a new vintage or revisiting a much loved vintage.

Housed in Patriot Place, the relaxed, totally unpretentious restaurant overlooks the north end zone of Gillette Stadium with a striking view of the iconic lighthouse and the Patriots Hall of Fame. Not a bad alternative to tailgating - though Tastings will draw fans whether the Pats are home or away.
