Tasting Flight is Back!

Tasting Flight presented by Alaska Airlines returns Saturday, June 20, transforming Woodland Park Zoo into Seattle’s premier wine‑tasting experience! Enjoy pours from more than 50 local wineries showcasing some of the best wines the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Sip and stroll through the zoo’s breathtaking grounds, engage with extraordinary animals, and explore our immersive exhibits — all in a kid‑free environment.

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable night out, Tasting Flight is one of the most delicious ways to support wildlife conservation, along with education programs and exceptional animal care.

Please note: The zoo will close at 1:00 p.m. on June 20 with grounds cleared and reopening at 3:30 p.m. exclusively for Tasting Flight guests.
