On the day How it works

  1. Arrive early & settle in

    Arrive 30 minutes early. Doors close at the start and no entry is allowed once the show has begun.

  2. Sip, swirl & laugh

    Enjoy a 70-minute stand-up set while you taste 5 different wines from around the world. Seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

  3. Leave as a (slightly cheeky) expert

    Pick up genuine wine know-how with zero snobbery, just laughs.

  4. Social Entry

    The “Entrada Social” ticket is a ticket category that anyone can buy, with no proof of eligibility required. It includes a R$10 donation to Instituto Hatus, a non-profit organization, already included in the ticket price.

  5. Audience change

    Tickets for the first session are not valid for the second session. Orders at the bar and kitchen will close 15 minutes before the end of the session. At the end of the session, we ask for the audience's cooperation in leaving the venue promptly, allowing the changeover of the audience for the next performance.
