HIGH BANK DISTILLERY AND COLUMBUS ZOO ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP FOR RENDEZOO 2026
COLUMBUS, OH – Craft spirits meets conservation.
High Bank Distillery Co. is proud to announce their partnership with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium for RendeZOO 2026 - an annual fundraising event held at the zoo that raises funds for wildlife conservation.
This year’s theme is “Lights, Camera, Conservation” - a red-carpet-worthy night of elevated bites, high-energy performances, immersive entertainment moments, and--the ultimate stars of the show--the zoo’s animal ambassadors. Guests are encouraged to dress in their best movie-chic attire for the red-carpet experience.
“This partnership is about more than cocktails—it’s about connection. The Columbus Zoo’s work in conservation is something we deeply admire, and being able to contribute through a specialty drink and events like RendeZOO, lets us turn something people love into something that truly makes a difference.
— co-founder and Master Distiller Adam Hines
Leading up to this event on May 30th, High Bank Co. restaurants (Grandview, Gahanna and Westerville locations) will feature a refreshing signature cocktail, the Rainforest Refresher. For every cocktail sold, $1 will be donated directly to the Columbus Zoo’s conservation efforts.
