There’s no better excuse to spend a Saturday evening at the San Diego Zoo. This is especially true when great food, great drinks, and a genuine cause for good are all part of the deal.

The annual Food, Wine & Brew celebration is back. This year is making it one of the most anticipated nights of the spring season.

Sip, Savor, and Support Something Bigger

This all-inclusive tasting event brings together some of Southern California’s best food, wine, and craft brews. In addition, the setting couldn’t be more unique.

We’re talking about strolling through one of the world’s most famous wildlife parks with a glass in hand. You’ll be surrounded by incredible animals and the kind of energy that makes for a genuinely unforgettable evening.

Every ticket directly supports conservation efforts that protect wildlife and the planet we all share. So while we’re indulging in everything the evening has to offer, we’re also contributing to something that matters.

What to Expect on the Night

The Zoo transforms into a one-of-a-kind outdoor venue as the sun goes down. Southern California restaurants and vendors serve up their best alongside an impressive lineup of wines and local brews.

It’s the kind of event where every turn brings something new. At each turn, you might find a dish you didn’t expect to love, a wine you’ll be hunting down the next morning, or a wildlife encounter that stops you in your tracks.

Whether you’re going with a group or making it a date night, the vibe is relaxed, social, and a whole lot of fun.

Your Ticket Options for the Night
