In Buenos Aires, you don’t have to go far to catch a stand-up show: at a bar in Palermo or a venue in Corrientes, you can find a show any night of the week. “An Idiot’s Guide to Wine” in Buenos Aires follows the same format, but with a wine tasting thrown in: the comedian acts as your guide, and you get to sample a variety of wines as the show goes on. And it doesn’t matter if you can tell a Malbec from a Cabernet or if you usually just grab whatever’s on sale— the important thing is to have a good time and keep laughing.
What is *An Idiot’s Guide to Wine*?
“An Idiot’s Guide to Wine” is, first and foremost, a stand-up comedy show: the comedian puts together the act and uses wine as a springboard for jokes. It’s the most down-to-earth way to learn about wine you’ll find—you’ll sample a variety of wines from different parts of the world while the comedian shares facts about each region and a few pairing tips. The show runs for 70 minutes at Esquina Homero Manzi and is for adults only.

An Idiot’s Guide to Wine originated in Australia from an idea by Merrick Watts, the only comedian in the world with WSET Level 3 certification. It was a huge hit there and is now coming to Buenos Aires as the perfect Sunday outing for couples or groups of friends tired of the same old bar.
If you’re looking for a night that combines humor, good wine, and a relaxed atmosphere, An Idiot’s Guide to Wine is for you. Keep in mind, though, that there are only two confirmed dates and capacity is limited, so it’s best to book in advance. Remember that the show is for adults only and takes place at Esquina Homero Manzi (accessible to people with limited mobility).
