Ignite their artistic spark with paint and sip classes

If your giftee has an artistic streak or simply enjoys trying something new, our sip and paint sessions make for a perfect gift. Not only will they create their own masterpiece under professional guidance, but they'll also enjoy a glass of their favourite tipple in a lively and fun atmosphere.
