Just imagine going to the Smithsonian National Park for this event: Grapes with the Apes! On April 16 from 6 to 9 pm., ticket holders will have the opportunity to support the Zoo and taste wines. General admission tickets are still available.

The Smithsonian National Zoological Park website says, “Sample wines from a variety of wineries, listen to live music, and enjoy an exclusive opportunity to greet the baby gorilla in the Zoo’s Great Ape House.”

Tickets include wine sampling, a commemorative glass, live music and a visit to the Great Ape House. More than 15 wineries will be participating including several from Virginia.

All participants must be at least 21. For more information and ticket information go to the zoo’s website.

Enjoy!    Cheers, Kathy
