Dine & Discover invites you to a chef-curated dining experience under the stars. Celebrating the birth of our Red Wolf pups, this year’s event will send your tastebuds tracking through the Tar Heel State in an elevated experience sure to remind you of home.
Begin your evening with a “Moonlit Howl” — our signature cocktail — and themed appetizers while overlooking our peaceful wetlands. Then chat with our Senior Director of Animal Care Sherry Samuels and representatives from the Red Wolf Coalition to learn more about the conservation of this critically endangered species.
You’ll then enjoy themed activities during your scenic stroll from visiting with the Red Wolves to the Magic Wings Butterfly House Garden where you’ll experience cuisine inspired by the diverse traditions of the South.
