Consider yourself a connoisseur of fine wines or simply a fan of the fruity alcoholic beverage? A wine festival coming to a zoo in Tampa next month may just need to find a place on your calendar.

Uncorked Wine Festival is coming back to Tampa for its 3rd annual Tampa Wine Fest on Saturday, September 23, this year taking over ZooTampa from 7 pm to 11 pm.

Vendors will be slinging a variety of more than 150 wines and bubblies from across the globe. This 21 and up-only event allows adults to sip on tasting options & savor eats from a lineup of on-site food trucks while enjoying some of their favorite enclosures at the zoo after hours.

Three different ticket options will be available, with VIP admission running for $100 and offering access to a VIP pavilion with a DJ, lite bites, and some incredible wineries, as well as early admission at 7 pm.

Early admission at the $80 price point gets visitors in at 7 pm as well, allowing for 4 full hours of tasting and access with the smaller first-hour crowd. General admission is only $65, granting 8 pm entry and 3 hours of tasting and zoo exploration.

All tickets include unlimited wine tasting, with food items sold separately for early and general admission ticket holders.
