Wild Wines at the Little Rock Zoo

This annual springtime wine tasting festival has become a cherished tradition at the Little Rock Zoo, drawing over 2,000 attendees to sample wines from around the world. Wild Wines features more than 40 wine vendors, including local favorites like Post Familie Vineyards and Rusty Tractor Vineyards, alongside international selections carefully curated for the outdoor event. Local restaurants and caterers, such as Catering to You and Boulevard Bread Company, serve gourmet appetizers and desserts that perfectly complement the wine selections.
