WHERE BREWS, WINES, AND SPIRITS RUN WILD!
The Wild Pour is Baton Rouge’s premier tasting event, bringing together an unforgettable afternoon of craft beer, fine wines, premium spirits, cocktails, and delicious food—all set against the backdrop of the Zoo.
Created as the next evolution of two beloved fundraising traditions, Brew at the Zoo and Roar + Pour, The Wild Pour combines the best of both experiences into one elevated event. Guests can sip, sample, and explore while enjoying live entertainment, unique animal encounters, and immersive themed tasting areas throughout the Zoo.
Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, wine lover, cocktail connoisseur, or simply looking for a one-of-a-kind afternoon with friends, The Wild Pour offers something for everyone.
