Wild Wines 2024

At Wild Wines, guests enjoy food from the area's best restaurants paired with hand-selected wines and liquors from O'Looney's Wine & Liquor. Special appearances by some of the Zoo's Animal Ambassadors will make this experience truly unforgettable! It's why AY Magazine readers have voted Wild Wines best fundraising event in the state year after year.

Not a wine drinker? Wild Wines even features beer and other beverages for non-wine drinkers. It's a party like no other and it all benefits the Arkansas Zoological Foundation for the Little Rock Zoo.

Wild Wines has something for everyone and is unmatched in variety and selection. As one of the largest food and wine events in the state, Wild Wines won't disappoint!
