Join Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) on September 1 to party with the primates and make a toast to conservation at our Grapes with the Apes event. Uncork and unwind with wine tastings from local and national wineries after hours at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.

The Zoo’s six western lowland gorillas and six orangutans will be staying up late as guests mix and mingle at the Great Ape House. Attendees will enjoy animal demonstrations, live music, culinary delights sold from popular DC food trucks, a one-of-a-kind sale of animal art, and a chance to win zoo-themed prizes and gifts.

General admission and VIP tickets are available for purchase. General admission tickets include unlimited wine tastings, a commemorative wine glass, animal encounters, and the opportunity to purchase wine to take home and enjoy later. General admission tickets are $50 for FONZ members and $65 for nonmembers. VIP tickets include the general admission benefits plus a private wine and hors d’oeuvres happy hour at the Think Tank exhibit, access to the VIP-only “Crush Pad,” delicious tastings from DC restaurants, exclusive animal encounters, and a take-home gift. VIP tickets are $115 for FONZ members and $150 for nonmembers. Tickets are available now at www.FONZ.org/grapes
