Paint 'n' Sip Studio is Christchurch's one and only paint & sip destination! Start with a blank canvas and sip your way to a one of a kind masterpiece. A local artist will guide you step by step to complete the featured painting of the night while socialising with friends over a wine or beer! Fun, easy and no artistic ability or experience necessary! Scheduled sessions are Tues-Sat 7pm - 9pm. Painting calendar changes monthly.

Fun night. Great leader that showed us many techniques that we needed. Great platters and full bar available. They are moving to the art centre next week which will be better for business. Highly recommend. I am really impressed with my painting.

Wow, this is a popular place. We visited over Labour Weekend. Great atmosphere with people outside on blankets on the lawn, at tables outside, under the shelter outside, or bravely inside with the 'bugs'. Service at the bar was friendly despite the big queue he offered a taste of a beer and chatted - nice when we were from out of town, much appreciated. Beer choices were very good. We managed to find a seat and enjoy the atmosphere. We shared a quesadilla with our second drinks and it was very tasty. Visited again the next night as this was such a cool place.
