On Saturday, June 3, 2023, our most popular event of the year will welcome 1,200 guests from Fairfield and New Haven counties to sample wine, beer, and food from over 40 vendors in an exotic atmosphere. Featuring live entertainment and a large silent auction, all proceeds from our Wild Wine, Beer, & Food Safari will support Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo’s mission of conservation, education, recreation, and research.

Attached is our auction donation form and more information on the event can be found here: beardsleyzoo.org/wild-wine

As conservation becomes more important with every passing year, the Zoo has risen to meet the challenge of preserving wild animals and wild places for future generations. We have been the birthplace of endangered animals like Amur tigers, Amur leopards and red wolves, and we have created new habitats that provide space for animals to engage in free choice and natural behaviors. Every renovation, re-imagination and new exhibit seeks first to make a safe and appropriate home for animals, and then to open a window to a new world where we can learn from observing the playful spider monkeys, the sleek river otters, or the heritage breeds in the New England Farmyard.

If you have any questions regarding the event or donation, please do not hesitate in reaching out! I look forward to speaking with you and thank you for your support consideration.
