[Columbia, SC] - Riverbanks Society will host the 6th annual Wine Tasting at Riverbanks Botanical Garden on Friday, April 24, and tickets are on sale now. All proceeds will benefit ongoing conservation and education efforts at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. From 7:00pm to 9:30pm, guests will stroll the Garden with tasting glass in hand, stopping at stations along the way to sample from more than 100 domestic and imported wines. Wine enthusiasts will also have the chance to consult expert vintners, ask questions and discuss everything from the age to the origin of each wine selection. “What better way to support Riverbanks’ conservation mission than by spending a beautiful evening in the award-winning Botanical Garden sipping wine and mingling with great company?” said Tommy Stringfellow, director of marketing for Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. Guests will also have the opportunity to nibble on savory light bites that complement their wine selection as they listen to live jazz under the Rose Garden pavilion. To preserve the intimacy of the event, a limited number of tickets will be sold. Tickets purchased in advance are $40 for Riverbanks members and $50 for the general public. All tickets purchased the day of the event will be $50. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Zoo or Garden entrance. Riverbanks Zoo and Garden encourages responsible drinking. Proper photo identification is required and no one under the age of 21 will be permitted. Wine Tasting will go on rain or shine.
