Wine enthusiasts and comedy lovers, mark your calendars! 

Merrick Watts isn't just a comedian, he's also a qualified wine expert who judges at some of the most prestigious wine shows around the country. He also has an incredible number of qualifications in being an idiot.  

“Get together with some of your wine loving friends and…be led through a wine tasting with one of Australia’s best comedians.” GLAM Adelaide ★★★★★

Throughout the evening, you'll taste six standout Australian wines, personally handpicked by Mez. He'll share tasting notes and plenty of highly questionable wisdom. It's part wine masterclass, part stand-up comedy and 100 percent fun.

“Wine helped me escape from my prison of Bourbon & Coke! MERRICK WATTS

Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just in it for a laugh, join us for this year’s Taste Tamworth Festival celebrations at the iconic Tamworth Town Hall -  this show has something for everyone.

Ticket price includes six (generous) wine tastings.
