An evening of learning through laughter
If you’ve always wanted to learn more about wine, this might be the perfect experience! Between sips and laughter, the show follows a script created by Australian Merrick Watts, a comedian and the only comedian in the world with a WSET Level 3 wine certification.
During the show, the audience participates in a guided tasting of five wines from different parts of the world, which complements the comedy experience.
You don’t need to understand wine labels or know technical terms: whether you’re already a wine connoisseur or just starting to explore this world, the goal is to discover new flavors in a relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of laughter and no formalities.
