Sip and paints are fun, no matter which option in Rotterdam you choose you will have a guaranteed blast. But not all options are the same and that is why we had to give all of them a try. Here is the list of our top 5 sip and paints in Rotterdam, I hope it helps you in finding the best one for you! 

1. Rembrandt van Wine

Sip and paint Rotterdam in the dark
  • Pricing: 39,50 (including all drinks)
  • Duration: 2 Hours
  • Group size: 15-25 
  • Art instructor: Yes + a host present
  • Language: English + Dutch
  • Private event option: Yes
  • Website

Rembrandt van Wine offers the most unique sip and paint experience in Rotterdam, as the entire event takes place in the dark. This intimate setting doesn’t detract from the painting process; instead, it makes it better! You’ll paint with a mix of normal acrylic paint and neon paint that glows vividly under black lights, creating a stunning effect on your canvas. And don’t worry about how your masterpiece will look outside the studio—thanks to the normal acrylic paint mixed with the neon, your painting will still look fantastic in regular lighting when you take it home after the event!

Each session is guided by both an art instructor and a host. The instructor provides step-by-step guidance for the painting of the day and offers one-on-one advice throughout the event. Meanwhile, the host ensures everyone is having a great time, keeping the music lively and the glasses full—all drinks are included in the price!

At just €39.50 per person (yes, including drinks), Rembrandt van Wine offers excellent value. It’s no surprise that also the independent jury at hobbyschilders.nl named this the number 1 paint and sip experience in Rotterdam (article in Dutch).

2. Sip 'N Paint Rotterdam

  • Pricing: Starting at 50,-

Sip ‘N Paint Rotterdam is an option we also particularly like as they offer more than just a creative and social painting experience, but one that you can finish up by adding some cocktails to the mix.

Sip ‘N Paint offers options for private events that include cocktails, mocktails, and even snacks to elevate the event. Their pricing ranges from €50 to €85 per person, depending on the inclusions. These private events are tailored for groups of 15 or more and can be hosted at various locations, making them perfect for private celebrations or corporate team-building events​.

They also sometimes organize ‘regular’ events for which you can purchase tickets. Make sure to check their website for the latest planned event (if there is any on the planning now)!

Artparty hosts their paint-and-sip events at variety of places throughout Rotterdam, offering a unique twist on the traditional experience which are more typically held at art studios. While it is nice that you can order food during the event, it’s worth noting that also the drinks must be paid for during the event, in addition to the ticket price.

The 2-hour Artparty workshops do provide a great opportunity to unleash your creativity. All the materials you need are provided, and the whole group is taken by the hand by the art instructor to paint the template of the day step-by-step.

Sip & Paint organizes private sip and paints for groups larger than 25 people. If you decide to join one of their events you will be converted into an artist for a day under the direct guidance of an art instructor. 

Unfortunately you can’t buy a single or double ticket for a paint and sip event, they only organize private events for groups. Sip & Paint is owned by Smaak van Rotterdam, an event organizer dedicated to bringing joy and entertainment to people of all ages and backgrounds. Next to Sip & Paint they organize a bunch of other types of events too, as well as a festival each summer where you can also… sip and paint.

The Natural Hair Club NL offers a fun sip and paint experience, perfect for adults seeking a creative and relaxing evening. As the name already suggests most visitors to these sip and paints decide to paint something related to … hair. The organizer prides itself in being the largest community in The Netherlands of people with an affinity to dreads & curls, so that isn’t all that surprising. 

It’s important to note that their events are held a bit infrequently, so be sure to check their website regularly to catch the next session if this is the sip and paint that you particularly like! 
 

Their workshops are designed for all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner picking up a brush for the first time or an experienced painter looking to refine your craft. A professional art instructor guides you through the basics of painting while you enjoy your wine, beer or soft drink (the workshops are at public venues so you can typically order whatever drink you like most). 

What factors make for a good sip and paint?

Now that you’ve seen our top sip-and-paint experiences in Rotterdam, let’s quickly recap what went into our rankings.

As the name suggests, the painting experience and the wine are at the heart of any great paint and sip. We looked for experiences with talented art instructors who can guide both beginners and seasoned artists and, of course, plenty of good wine—because nothing gets those creative juices flowing like a great glass of red or white!
