Guadalajara has been building its stand-up scene for over a decade, with bars like La Vaca de Troya packed every week. An Idiot’s Guide to Wine joins that tradition, but with a more original idea: combining a fun stand-up show with a wine tasting featuring wines from around the world. An experience (with only two dates confirmed) that’s just as enjoyable whether you can tell a Malbec from a Tempranillo or have never tasted anything other than boxed wine.
What is *An Idiot’s Guide to Wine*?
It’s a stand-up comedy night with a guided wine tasting, designed exclusively for adults: here, the comedian makes you laugh while talking about aromas, styles, and grape varieties, and you get to taste wines from around the world that are served based on what’s being discussed. The event lasts 70 minutes and takes place at the Escenik Teatro Bar.
All About “An Idiot’s Guide to Wine” in Guadalajara
The format was created by Australian comedian Merrick Watts, a certified wine taster who has taken the show to festivals, wineries, and bars across Australia, selling out shows everywhere. In Guadalajara, it’s hosted by a local comedian, but with the same formula: wine tasting and stand-up comedy in one evening. It’s the perfect Saturday evening outing —whether you’re with a partner or friends—and a great way to learn about wine while having a good laugh.
Guadalajara has only two dates to see *An Idiot’s Guide to Wine*: October 10 and November 14, at Escenik Teatro Bar (a venue equipped to accommodate people with limited mobility). Whether you’re a wine expert or a complete beginner, you’ll laugh and drink on a night where your biggest challenge will be not spilling your glass from laughing so hard. And if wine isn’t your thing, don’t worry: no one’s forcing you to drink— non-alcoholic beverages are available, though they’re charged separately from the ticket price.
