On a bright spring evening in Vienna’s Döbling district, the Schlumberger Garten at Heiligenstädter Straße 39 becomes a small, public stage for color and conviviality. Art & Bubbles — was schlummert in dir? is a two-hour guided painting session that pairs free-flow Schlumberger Rosé with clear instruction from artist Marc-Alexandre Dumoulin. For travelers staying in central Wien, this is a compact, social escape that feels as local as a neighborhood café yet sharply focused on play and process.
The experience is straightforward: over approximately 120 minutes, guests aged 16 and up receive a 30x40 cm pre-stretched canvas, acrylic supplies, and step-by-step direction to paint a piece titled “Sparkling Spring.” Free-flow Schlumberger Rosé Brut and Rosé Ice Secco are provided throughout, which lowers the stakes and speeds conversation. Group size ranges from 12 to 20, so expect an intimate, lively setting where mistakes are encouraged and comparisons are kept kind.
Key features here are the garden setting and the shared table-workshop format—an urban green pocket where light filters through trees and wine glasses catch an Austrian sunset. If weather forces an indoor move, the provider will relocate the session, preserving the relaxed vibe. This is a distinct offering in Vienna because it blends a well-known Austrian sparkling-wine brand with grassroots creative instruction, turning a simple paint class into a social ritual tied to place.
Why book it: it’s perfect for travelers craving low-effort cultural activity that still feels memorable. The combination of a named artist, tangible takeaways (your finished canvas), and the Schlumberger connection makes for both an authentic souvenir and a way to meet locals or fellow travelers. It also functions well as a light celebration — birthdays, dates, or a casual evenings out.
Practical notes: the class is labeled as “Einsteiger” level, so no prior painting experience is required. Bring a light jacket if you plan to sit outside in cooler months. The address—Schlumberger Garten, Heiligenstädter Straße 39, 1190 Wien—puts you in Vienna’s 19th district, with easy tram or bus access from the city center.
Book this session for a crisp, human-scaled evening where material textures, glass bubbles, and candid talk mix as naturally as paint into a palette. It’s city-based recreation that rewards curiosity and finishes with a piece of your own-making to carry home. The event costs €69 per person and includes the stretched 30x40 cm canvas, paints and brushes, and guidance from the instructor; free-flow Schlumberger Rosé Brut and Rosé Ice Secco are included. Sessions run about 120 minutes, are suitable for ages 16 and up, and host 12–20 people. Arrive a few minutes early to claim a seat, and note that the program moves indoors only in bad weather.
