Winos for Rhinos will go on RAIN or SHINE. Please be advised that some activities may be limited if there is inclement weather. There will still be plenty of opportunities to relax, have fun, and save rhinos. Additional tickets will be available at the door, so bring your family and friends!

Remember – VIP ticket holders will have expedited check-in, so look for it when you arrive

The event runs from 6PM to 10PM for all ticket holders and there is complimentary on-site parking. Due to noise restrictions, we kindly ask that all attendees vacate the vineyard promptly at 10.

Winos for Rhinos is a GREEN event, so bring your own cup! Limited, single-use cups (for water, soft drinks, etc.) will be available for a $1 donation per cup. WFR commemorative squishy silicone cups and reusable utensils will also be available for purchase. There will be no shopping bags provided at the event, so plan to bring your own reusable bags for raffle and auction items.

DeJon vineyard has a fully functioning tasting space and outdoor entertainment area with ample seating and picnic tables. Guests are welcome to bring their own camping chairs and blankets to set out on the lawn (weather permitting).

GBAAZK has raised more than $60,000 for BFR in the past two decades, contributing towards BFR's total of more than seven million dollars since its start in 1991! The AAZK’s Bowling for Rhinos provides zoo keepers of the world with an avenue to raise funds and awareness for rhino and habitat conservation. By supporting GBBAZK and BFR - you're saving rhinos, elephants, cheetah, plants, corals, and more!


What does BFR support?
In Kenya, Africa, BFR supports the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos and most of the other species native to East Africa.

In Indonesia BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the International Rhino Foundation.

BFR also supports Action for Cheetahs in Kenya. Cheetahs share much of the same habitat as rhinos and by working to conserve cheetahs we are also saving rhinos and the countless other species that call that habitat home.
