Roar and Pour Returns to the Santa Barbara Zoo

The Zoo is still accepting wineries to participate! 

It’s time to raise a glass at Roar and Pour, a “wild” wine tasting event at the Santa Barbara Zoo on Saturday, May 4, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, with a VIP hour from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. Roar and Pour is a community favorite where guests get the chance to sip, stroll and take in the spectacular Zoo’s views! Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased online here.

Don’t miss this roaring good time! Not only will guests enjoy unlimited tastings from the region’s leading wineries, but they will also have the opportunity to feed the giraffes, ride the Zoo train, and have exclusive access to Zoo grounds after hours. Guests will also take home a souvenir Roar and Pour 2024 wine glass. Roar and Pour VIP ticket holders will enjoy early entry, as well as animal encounters and appetizers. Food and non-alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase.

Wineries Wanted! The success of Roar and Pour is due, in great part, to the generous donations from our local partners. 2024 participating wineries so far include Arthur Earl, Brick Barn Wine Estate, Ca’ Del Grevino, Cutruzzola Vineyards, High Seas Mead, J Dusi Wines, Lavender Oak Vineyard and Winery, Longoria Winery, Lumen, Melville Winery, Riboli Family Wines, Rincon Brewery, Single Fin Cider, Summerland Winery, and Turiya Wines. Wineries interested in participating can get more information here!
