WHAT

Uncork some of the Northwest’s finest boutique wines at Woodland Park Zoo’s Tasting Flight presented by Union Bank. The after-hours, adults-only wine event is offered twice this summer.

Head to the zoo’s picturesque North Meadow and create your own flight of tastings from the more than 30 Northwest wineries on site. Winemakers will be on hand to answer questions and give tips to make the most of your tasting experiences. Additional tastings, full bottles of your favorite selections, and concessions from Lancer Catering will also be available for purchase at the event. The evening includes live music, “Get Real Close” animal encounters, and an opportunity to take in the zoo’s award-winning Northern Trail and Humboldt penguin exhibits. Proceeds from this fundraiser benefit the zoo.

As part of Woodland Park Zoo’s commitment to sustainable practices, including waste reduction, this is a Bring Your Own Glass event (compostable cups available for id="mce_marker" at the event). Tasting Flight at Woodland Park Zoo is for adults 21 and over only—valid ID is required for entry.

For the Tasting Flight on June 28, the zoo is offering a “Parents Night Out” childcare program. Space is limited, so please register here by Friday, June 22. After June 22, please call 206-548-2424 to check availability.
