Edmonton’s already packed with cozy wine bars and buzzing taprooms, but this is the first time Jasper Avenue energy meets hilarious stand-up plus six‑glass wine tasting in one room. An Idiot’s Guide to Wine in Edmonton is where the pours keep coming to your table and the punchlines hit just as hard as the cabernet—because in this city, if you’re not laughing between sips, you’re doing wine night wrong.

This is the kind of adults’ night out that works whether you come with friends, a date, or the one person who always orders wine with confidence and then admits they’re guessing. Because you taste what’s being discussed in real time, the whole format feels easy to follow and genuinely engaging. Better still, it was created by Merrick Watts—the only comedian in the world to possess a WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) level 3 qualification—so the evening lands in that sweet spot between sharp entertainment and proper wine know-how.
So if you’ve been looking for a comedy and wine tasting night that skips the snobbery, this is it: six wines, plenty of laughs, and a relaxed way to learn without feeling tested. Selected and upcoming dates make it easy to find a night that fits, whether you’re planning ahead or booking on a whim. Please note that this is an 18+ event and attendees may be asked to provide ID on arrival.
