Explore the Wild Side of North Carolina (Without Leaving Your Barstool)

If you’re looking for a way to enjoy North Carolina’s wildlife without leaving the city, head to Greensboro’s The Loaded Grape on August 26th for an evening where nature knowledge takes center stage. Think of it as a journey across the state - except instead of boots and backpacks, you’ll need sharp wits, a love of wildlife, and maybe a glass of wine in hand.

Your trivia adventure treks through the ecosystems of the Piedmont and journeys across the state. Questions may leap from frogs hiding under logs, to raptors patrolling our skies, to the rivers and forests that support North Carolina its rich biodiversity. Each round is like a new trail to follow, full of surprises for those who know their herps, their trees, and even our state geography.

Your basecamp for the evening? The Loaded Grape, a favorite Greensboro stop for wine enthusiasts and beer lovers alike. Owned by the ever-energetic Andy, this welcoming shop pairs a lively community atmosphere with a thoughtful selection of wine by the glass, bottled beer from the cooler, and taps that promise something refreshing after a hard-earned trivia point.

Teams of up to four can compete for prizes, but the real reward is the chance to connect with fellow adventurers who share your passion for wildlife, conservation, and the great outdoors. With every laugh and every correct answer, you’ll be supporting Triad Wild!, a volunteer-driven group dedicated to protecting local habitats and the creatures who call them home.

So mark your map, gather your travel companions, and set your compass for The Loaded Grape. It’s more than trivia—it’s a journey through the wild heart of North Carolina, all from the comfort of your barstool.
