Corporate

Hi. We’re Grapes of Mirth and we’ve got your next corporate function sorted. 

We love three things – comedy, wine and people and we like to smoosh them together to create bespoke corporate events that you and your clients will be talking about for years. Yeah, they’re that good.

We’re now offering our expertise across events, comedy, and wine to businesses by creating bespoke experiences (both large and small) in wine regions, city locations, or online.

Access to…

The Funny People

Our head clown/wine expert, Merrick Watts, considers himself a pretty funny guy, but better yet, he knows heaps more funny people.

We can arrange an entertainer for your event that gets even the most mundane accountant laughing. Looking at you Susan.

The Prettiest Places

We’ve been running events all over Australia since 2017, setting up activations in wineries, cellar doors, function centres, huge sheds and even on an island. What we’re saying is we can make any space work in any part of the country you want.

Whether you’re planning business class airfares to Margaret River or you want to chuck everyone on a bus to the closest patch of grass or room you can find, we’ve got you sorted and will make it the best setting you could imagine.

The Best Wine & Wineries

Merrick is a total wine guy. And a serious one at that. He’s a WSET 3 certified wine expert, wine show judge, contributor for Delicious food & wine, and even has his own show An Idiot’s Guide to Wine. BOOM!

We know wine and will curate you a package that can cater from wine snobs to that guy you know that finds sparkling water a bit spicy for his palette. We’ve got you sorted.

What We Offer

We love creating experiences. Your day will be full of fun, laughter and you might even learn something along the way.

We can entertain you for an hour, a day, an entire weekend or anything in between.

We’re talking:

An Idiot’s Guide to Wine

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

Testimonials

Craig Scott, CEO – Twinings Australia

“Grapes of Mirth, with Merrick as host, provided a seamless and professionally executed day of entertainment for our staff. Merrick’s wine knowledge, combined with his humour, offered an entertaining and educational insight into wine that everyone found approachable. The bespoke effort to accommodate and write our staff awards was a hit with everyone. The addition of fellow guest comedian Dane Simpson, in the setting of one of the country’s best wineries, rounded out a wonderful day. Highly recommend this group.”

Stuart Buxton, ANZ Country Marketing Manager – Verizon

“Grapes of Mirth’s professionalism and sense of fun delivered an experience to remember ”

Geoff Krieger, General Manager – Brokenwood Wines

“Merrick was great!  He read the room and took the audience for a romp through his relatable adventures on the SAS show, to his passion for wine and growing up in the ’70s. They laughed till they cried!  Merrick stayed around after his gig and patiently posed for photos and chats with the audience. Highly recommended.”

Claire Vanderstoel, Director of Marketing – Kao Australia

“Jason and Rowan, the online wine tasting was such a treat for us all, a bit of lighthearted fun was just what everyone needed. You were both wonderful to work with and made everything very easy, THANK YOU!”

David Sharp, Chief Financial Officer – Richard Crookes Constructions

“As part of our ‘R U OK Month’ wellbeing initiative, RCC engaged Merrick to do a virtual Q&A session for our employees.

The session was centred around Resilience, Mental Health and Comedy. Merrick used a mix of powerful lived experience stories and hilarious comedy, personalised to our business and industry. The feedback from the 150 staff that tuned in was really positive. Being able to discuss a serious issue like mental health whilst at the same time providing people with a good laugh is a unique mix which Merrick delivered well.”
