This is the kind of adults’ night out that works whether you come with friends, a date, or fellow wine-curious sceptics who’d usually avoid a formal tasting. The format keeps things social and easy—you taste what’s being discussed, so the whole evening feels hands-on rather than lecture-like. What’s more, it was created by an Australian comedian with genuine, certified wine qualifications, which gives the experience its sweet spot: informed, funny, and refreshingly unpretentious.
So if you’re after comedy, wine tasting, six wines, and a no-judgment way to actually learn something, this Leeds event makes the case nicely. With selected and upcoming dates available, it’s an easy pick for a lively evening that feels more like going out than being taught. Seating is limited, and this one is strictly 18+ because, you know, alcohol.
