Tasting Flight is back and bigger than ever!
Join us on June 5 and 6, 2025, for an unforgettable 21+ wine-tasting experience featuring up to 60 wineries pouring some of the best wines from across the Northwest. Each night will offer a unique selection, with some wineries serving both nights and others rotating, ensuring a fresh lineup of tastings each evening.
Sip and stroll through the zoo’s breathtaking grounds while engaging with extraordinary animals and exploring our amazing exhibits—all in a kid-free environment. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking for a fun night out, Tasting Flight is the perfect way to enjoy great wine while supporting exemplary animal care, education efforts at the zoo, and local and global conservation projects.
Please note: The zoo will close at 1:00 p.m. on event days, with grounds cleared and reopening at 4:00 p.m. exclusively for Tasting Flight guests.
