Grapes (By Which We Mean Wine) with the Apes

The apes, however, won't actually be drinking.

Party with the primates! And no, we don't mean former frat brothers.

The National Zoo will host Grapes with the Apes on Thursday, Sept. 22 (6-9 p.m.), during which you can sample wines from both local and national wineries while gaining after-hours access to the Great Ape House.

Proceeds from the event support the primates and conservation science, so go ahead and take home your favorite Pinot!

Tickets ($55 general; $100 VIP) include all wine samplings, a commemorative glass, live music and the chance to learn more about great apes and ongoing projects to support endangered species from zoo experts.
