Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need painting experience to join a class or events?
No! All our events are beginner-friendly and guided step-by-step by an art teacher, so that anyone can create something beautiful.
How long is each event?
Do I need to bring any art supplies for a Sip & Paint event?
No, we provide everything you need — canvas, paints, brushes, aprons, and easels. Just bring yourself (and your favorite beverage if the venue allows BYOB).
Are kids allowed at Sip & Paint classes?
Our public Sip & Paint classes are generally for adults. However, we offer kids’ art classes and camps separately, designed specifically for young artists.
Can I book a private Sip & Paint for my birthday or bachelorette party?
Can I bring wine or snacks to Sip & Paint events?
Yes, most of our San Diego Sip & Paint events are BYOB. You’re welcome to bring your favorite wine, beer, or non-alcoholic drinks. Additionally, we’ll inform you of what’s permitted.
What happens if I need to cancel my event booking?
For most Sip & Paint events, cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the event for rescheduling or refund eligibility. No-shows are not eligible for a refund. For more information, please visit our policies & terms page or contact us.
Is parking available at the San Diego location?
Most of our venues offer free or convenient paid parking nearby. We’ll include parking details in your booking confirmation so you know exactly where to go.
Can we host the event at our location or somewhere else?
Absolutely! You can host your event at your home, office, park, or any location of your choice, and I’ll bring all the supplies and set up.
Do you prefer a venue? I can also help you reserve a table at a local restaurant or event space in your neighborhood.
