Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

On the Northern Beaches, paint and sip happens in a craft distillery rather than an art studio. Hang 10 Distillery, at Unit 48, 5 Ponderosa Parade in Warriewood, invites local artists into its bar and pours its own gin, made from a base spirit fermented out of unsold bread from local bakeries.

What a creative workshop at the distillery involves:

  • Watercolour and gin: with a local artist leading, paint either a seascape-style scene or fine botanicals
  • Covered in the booking: a G&T, nibbles and all the art materials
  • Gin glass painting: a few easy decorating techniques, with each guest finishing a hand-painted glass to use at home
  • Experience: both workshops suit all skill levels, beginners included
  • Private dates: groups enquire to book their own workshop on a date that suits

Hens parties, birthdays and team outings are the groups the distillery names, and the bar is right there once the brushes are down.

Staying on after the workshop

  • House spirits, cocktails, beer and a short wine list at the bar
  • Pizzas, with vegan and gluten-free options
  • A one-hour distillery tour with a guided tasting of three gins, for small groups
  • Semi-private events on any day the bar opens, and fully private hire outside Fridays and Saturdays

A surf distillery at heart

  • The name comes from the longboard trick of curling all ten toes over the nose of the board
  • The founders are keen surfers, which is why the watercolour theme leans to the sea
  • Gin and vodka start from bread that local bakeries didn't sell
  • Distilling runs on renewable energy

Before You Book: Paint & Sip FAQs

Is the workshop suitable for complete beginners?

No. Both the watercolour and the gin glass workshops suit all skill levels, and an artist leads the group throughout.

What comes with the watercolour and gin session?

Your G&T, something to nibble and all the materials are covered, and the artist leads everyone through either a sea scene or a botanical study.

Can a hens party book the distillery privately?

Yes. Groups can enquire to book a private workshop on a date that suits, and the whole venue can go private on any day other than Friday or Saturday.

Is there food at Hang 10 Distillery?

Pizzas come out of the kitchen, with vegan and gluten-free choices, while the bar pours the house gin and vodka, cocktails, beer and a short wine list.
