When you book Paint and Sip classes on ClassBento, you'll enjoy exclusive perks:
Looking to add a splash of colour to your next date night? Keen to treat your hardworking colleagues to a team building activity? Sip & paint is the answer! One of the most enjoyable Auckland activities, paint and sip is a two-in-one experience, pairing a painting class with a social bar-like atmosphere. Whether you're planning a night out with friends or searching for unique date ideas, our sip and paint sessions offer the perfect blend of creativity and relaxation.
From the bustling CBD to the charming suburbs, our paint and sip venues provide the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. Each paint and wine night is led by a talented local artist who'll guide you through the painting process, sharing basic techniques and composition – all while you enjoy a glass of your favourite vintage, beer or non-alcoholic bevvie. Looking for sip and paint in Auckland CBD? Join us in our Queen Street studio for an experience you'll never forget. Seeking out sip and paint in south/east/west Auckland? You'll find plenty of sunny studios waiting to welcome you. Regardless of the location, the best thing about sip & paint is that it's beginner-friendly – just bring your enthusiasm and let the paint (and wine) flow! Combining creativity with a glass of Cab Sav helps help to reduce the "performance anxiety" that usually comes with trying something new. Unlike formal art classes in Auckland, the focus is on fun rather than perfection. Cheers to that!
When you join us for a paint and wine night, everything you need is provided: high-quality art supplies, a canvas, and expert guidance from our friendly instructors. Simply arrive ready to create – and BYO drinks for yourself and/or your group. Our sip n paint studios provide a relaxed, social atmosphere where you can unwind with a drink, laugh with friends and learn new skills.
If you're looking for an alternative to the usual dinner and drinks, paint and sip is the answer. These relaxed painting classes offer a fresh take on social gatherings, allowing you and your friends/family/colleagues to connect in a natural and organic way. Unlike passive activities like watching movies, paint and sip sessions keep everyone actively engaged. (In other words, you're creating something while socialising, which helps prevent the awkward lulls in conversation that can happen during traditional social gatherings.) Whether you're looking for fun team building activities in Auckland CBD or celebrating a special occasion, learning to paint and drink wine adds an artistic twist to any celebration.
Sip & paint classes make unforgettable:
Compared to formal art classes, paint and sip in Auckland is surprisingly affordable. Prices typically range from $39 to $69 per person, which includes all your art supplies and professional instruction. Some studios might offer you your first drink for free but encourage you to BYO to keep the good times flowing. Most of the time, however, sip & paint is fully BYO (which helps to keep prices low). Many of our studios also offer private classes for groups like hens parties, birthday parties and team building, with special packages available for larger bookings. Ready to discover why paint and sip is NZ's favourite night out? Whether you're planning a special event or looking for fun things to do in Auckland, these social art classes are unforgettable. Join us for paint and wine in Auckland and see the world through rose-coloured glasses!
