Wild About Wine is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Experience the zoo transformed into a tropical oasis to get you ready for warmer weather that's just around the corner! Sip on local and imported wines with perfectly paired hors d'oeuvres. Select animal encounters will take place throughout the event for guests to enjoy. Listen to live music while sipping on some vino. Join us for a night to remember at the Texas Zoo!

Wild About Wine is a great event that gets our community together to support the Texas Zoo, which is the official National Zoo of Texas & the only zoo within 2-hours of Victoria - allowing smaller communities an educational & family-friendly amenity right in their backyard. All proceeds from the event go directly to support not only our daily operating expenses but as well as supply funding for various capital projects throughout the next year & allow us to host our kid's summer camps, which positively impacts education within our community.

Like many non-profits around the world, COVID-19 has hit our organization hard. Due to decreased admission, the unavailability to host fundraising events since the beginning of 2020, and cutting out our animal encounters due to the animal's high susceptibility to contracting COVID-19, our zoo has had to make some hard decisions and cut our already lean budget down even further. In years past we rely on this fundraiser to help sustain our organization and keep our doors open throughout the year, but due to COVID-19 the success of this event is necessary more than ever.
