The concept of Paint and Sip is pretty simple.
You paint and drink alcohol (or non-alcoholic beverages if you want). There is a reason why it isn’t called the Paint and Suck.
Here is a little more info on what is supposed to go down at a Paint and Sip.
The paint and sip experience is very easy-breezy, but even so, it’s nice to know what to expect. This is especially true if you’re coordinating a large group. Or if you’re trying to convince your boss to sign your department up for a paint and sip team-building day.
Paint and sip events combine a professionally-led painting class with a high-energy environment and a few drinks. Pinot’s Palette studios are either BYOB or have bars built in them. Wine is the most popular drink of choice, but many of our guests opt for beer, liquor or lemonade. Paint. Drink. Have Fun. As long as you do at least two of the three, you’re in good shape.
Classes are paid in advance, and we provide 100% of your painting supplies, protective smocks, wine glasses, corkscrews and even ice buckets, so you don’t have to show up with anything!
Part of the joy of paint and sip is that you get to snack while painting, so most groups show up with some munchies. There are usually no limits to what you can and can’t bring to eat… although we do recommend leaving the tuna fish at home. Check your local studio’s food and beverage policy to find out if it’s BYOB or bar, and whether or not they serve their own snacks.
You don’t need to know a single thing about painting prior to showing up. Our instructors will talk you through everything you need to know, from how to mix paint colors to what sort of brush strokes to use. Want to customize your painting? They’ll help you with that, too.

Of course, someone had to go and get freaky while the painting was going on, which has the internet going nuts.
