Kandice VincentI wanted to do something relaxing, so I invited my best friend to grab a glass of wine. She laughed and said, “Let’s make it interesting!”—and took me to a sip and paint night.
It was a total blast! I’m no Picasso, but with a paintbrush in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, my masterpiece wasn’t half bad (well, maybe after two glasses).
If you’re looking for a fun way to unwind and get creative, here are the best sip and paint spots in Toronto as recommended by artsy (and not so artsy!) locals!

Every 3rd Sunday of the month, don’t miss their Bottomless Mimosas Paint Day! For $65 per person, you can sip your way through mango, orange, passion fruit, or pineapple mimosas—or mix them all for a fruity cocktail of your own invention.
We also love their Brown Sugar Movie Date Night. You can enjoy great music, laughter, a movie, and a glass of wine as you recreate one of Tray’s original paintings.
Special occasions are even better, like their Galentine’s Paint Night. Celebrate with your besties, champagne in hand, while painting and laughing the night away!

Tray Arts also offers corporate sip & paint nights. And with clients like Starbucks, Scotiabank, and the University of Toronto, it seems they’re pros at hosting fun, professional, and inspiring workshops tailored to your group!
