The best paint and sip classes in Melbourne
If you’re searching for a creative outlet that’s fun, relaxed and doesn’t require a certain level of artistic talent, look no further than a paint and sip class. Perfect for date nights, catch-ups with friends and family, hens parties or team-building sessions, it involves sipping on wine (or another drink of your choice) and zoning out while you work on a painting that you will genuinely be proud of – and will likely want to hang on your wall at home.
Paint and sip classes are a safe space where everyone is welcome and encouraged to express themselves in a creative way. No experience is required, and it’s definitely not a competition to discover who is the next Picasso. Best of all, it’s a chance to completely switch off from the daily stresses of life – trust us, three hours melt away when you’ve got a paintbrush in your hand.
So, to help you tap into your inner Frida Kahlo, here are Melbourne’s best paint and sip studios.

Melbourne’s top paint and sip classes
Champainting
We have Melinda Janiszewski to thank for bringing the paint and sip concept to Australia with her Champainting business. After taking a class in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, back in 2009, she found it was “art therapy without being art therapy”. And this was the reason she wanted to open a studio in Melbourne, when she moved here and realised there was a gaping hole in the market.
Champainting promises a classy, quality experience – some artists have been with the studio for more than seven years. They’re dedicated to helping take care of the little things, like topping up your water and paints as you need, so you can focus on your painting experience (if you ask nicely, they’ll even give you some expert artistic tips).
Since its inception ten years ago, the business has launched a range of experiences, including VIP sessions at Melbourne Zoo and Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium, where you can paint the animals, tour the venues and enjoy refreshments. There are also sessions where you can paint your pet or best mate, and it’s a wonderful idea for hens parties, team-building events and birthdays.
Champainting has two studios in South Melbourne. All events are BYO drinks and nibbles, with serving ware provided.
