The San Diego Zoo is hosting its delectable Food, Wine & Brew event on September 21st. This isn't just any food festival. Here, your taste for the finer things supports the conservation of wildlife species and their habitats. According to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, attendees will relish the flavors from over 150 top-tier Southern California restaurants, wineries, and breweries amid the company of the zoo's fascinating animals.
As you wander through the zoo from 7:30 to 10 p.m., sipping and savoring, you will participate in a tradition that began in 1980 as Kicks for Critters. An article by the San Diego Zoo's Food, Wine & Brew invites guests to "Raise a glass and take a bite out of conservation," highlighting the event's commitment to supporting our planet's biodiversity. Expanding beyond just local efforts, proceeds from the event now bolster San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s eight Conservation Hubs stationed throughout six continents.
Aside from the culinary delights, this year introduces an engaging Conservation Stage, elevating the experience further. This conservation-centric platform offers event-goers a portal to connect with wildlife through up-close encounters and inspiring stories from care specialists. They'll share insights about the groundbreaking work they do both in San Diego and around the world. Wildlife experiences are included with General Admission tickets, priced at $179, which cover all food, drink samples, entertainment, and these unique wildlife interactions, as per the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.
