Comedian and wine specialist Merrick Watts is bringing his smash hit 'An Idiot's Guide to Wine' to the Hunter Valley for one night only.

After a sold-out series of shows at the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festival, Watts said he's looking forward to bringing the laughs to Brokenwood Wines on the 26th of August.

"This is one of my all-time favourite shows, and Brokenwood is the perfect place for it", said Watts.

"It's a comedy show about wine. People taste wines as I tell jokes about the grapes and their history. As a warning, I should say, some people over the course of the wine tasting have learnt something. that's accidental."

Watts proudly holds a WSET 3 wine qualification and is looking forward to tasting some local drops.

"Brokenwood is one of my favourite wineries in the country and an awesome place to host a show. I'm excited to share a range of their incredible wines."

Brokenwood Wines CEO, Geoff Krieger, says "Merrick was a huge hit when he hosted our 2021 Graveyard Lunch, we are excited to welcome him back and to push our 'Enjoy great wine and have fun' philosophy to its limit!"

The 70-minute show includes six wine tastings, a three-course menu from the impressive team at Sprout Catering, tunes from Grapes of Mirth resident DJ, Pedro Moshman, and a whole lot of laughs.
