Sweeney Preston & Ethan Cavanagh
In Pour Taste: A Comedy Wine Tasting Experience
★ Winner Best Eat & Drink Weekly Award 2023 Adelaide Fringe ★
★ Sold out season 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival ★
In an experience that could only be described as “goon bag in quantity, champagne in quality”, comedians Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh will be joined by wine expert Jordan Veltheer as they guide you through five wines and at least five jokes.
Taking place at Melbourne’s home of sustainable bottling, ReWine CBD, this sumptuous hour of booze and buffoonery will have an emphasis on environmentally friendly vinos for those who prefer their grape juice guilt-free.
Everyone from worldly wine wankers to clueless chardonnay chuggers will find something to make their glass half full, as all the wine industry’s most hard-hitting questions are answered:
How far should I extend my pinky when sipping? What the f%*k is a tannin? And who’s parked in the clearway out front, you’re about to be towed?
Your ticket includes five wine tastings and 20% off bottles purchased at the event.
Doors from 5:30pm. Pizza available from the bar after the show. Guests are welcome to stay 'til late.
Non-alcoholic option available.
