Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

A paint and sip afternoon keeps a group busy and chatting at the same time. An artist leads everyone through the same picture one stage at a time, and nobody needs to have held a brush since primary school.

On the Peninsula it slots neatly into a hens weekend, a baby shower or a low-key birthday, often before dinner in Mornington or a winery lunch the next day. Only one studio is on our list at the moment, based on the bay side, so it's worth enquiring early if your date is fixed.

Points to settle before you book:

  • Private group bookings usually set a minimum number of painters, so confirm your headcount meets it before you settle on a date
  • Ask whether the price is a group fee or a per-painter rate, and what changes if a few people drop out on the day
  • Check how drinks work – some studios pour a set amount, others let you bring your own, and a few charge corkage
  • Find out how long the session runs, usually around two hours, and whether there's time for food afterwards
  • Ask if you can choose the picture, or have one designed around a theme such as the bride's favourite flowers

School-holiday and summer weekends are when Peninsula studios fill first, as day-trippers and holiday-house groups look for a rainy-day plan. A midweek or winter booking is usually easier to land.

Tell the studio your date, numbers and occasion in one enquiry and they'll reply with what fits. There's no commission or booking fee added on Party Hero.

Where It Fits in a Peninsula Weekend

Little Details That Help on the Day

  • Send a list of food allergies if snacks or platters are included
  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on, even if aprons are supplied
  • Ask how the finished canvases travel home – wet acrylic and a car boot don't always mix
  • If the guest of honour is a surprise, check the studio can keep a theme or name under wraps

Before You Book: Paint & Sip FAQs

Do we need any painting experience?

No. The instructor breaks the picture into simple steps and paints alongside the group, so beginners finish with something they're happy to take home.

How many people can join a private paint and sip session?

Studios usually set both a minimum and a maximum for private bookings. Ask for the exact numbers when you enquire, since that decides whether you get the room to yourselves.

Are drinks included?

It depends on the studio. Some include a glass or two, some let you bring your own, and some sell drinks separately, so ask before comparing prices.

Is paint and sip suitable for a hens party?

Yes, it's one of the more relaxed hens options, and it works well for mixed-age groups where not everyone wants a big night. Ask about a themed picture for the bride-to-be.

Can kids join in?

Some studios run separate kids' art parties without the drinks. If you're planning for children, mention their ages in your enquiry.

Why are there so few paint and sip studios listed on the Peninsula?

The Peninsula list has only just started and currently has one studio. More will be added as local businesses join, so check back if you'd like to compare.

How far ahead should we book?

A few weeks is often enough midweek or in the cooler months. For a summer or school-holiday Saturday, enquire as soon as your date is set.
