Event Details


Merrick Watts is a qualified wine specialist and comedian. Join him on a journey through the wonderful world of wine where he is the idiot but also strangely the expert.

After sold out seasons around the country and overseas, Merrick is bringing his smash hit show to Innocent Bystander in the Yarra Valley.

During the show you will drink along with Mez as he takes you on a wine flight, showing six great Innocent Bystander wines, each with a story, food match and tasting notes to boot.


After the show the team at Innocent Bystander will put on a delicious three course-meal to round out this perfect Saturday afternoon activity. 


Whether you are a connoisseur or an enthusiast, there is something for everyone. Comedy meets wine, laughter meets learning, and you get to drink! What more could you want?

Merrick Watts is a loved radio host and has appeared on TV shows like 'The Project', 'Hughesy, We Have a Problem', and was one of the winners of 'SAS Australia' in 2020.

Get a group of mates together and book now for this perfect dinner and show experience thanks to Merrick and Innocent Bystander.
