Located in the heart of Australia's renowned Hunter Valley, Stay n' Sip offers a fresh take on the region’s celebrated wine culture by pairing it seamlessly with creative expression. This two-hour Paint n' Wine Tasting experience invites guests to unwind in the comfort of their accommodation—whether a cozy cottage or stylish villa—and engage in a guided journey through seven exceptional Hunter Valley wines while creating a personal work of art.
Hunter Valley is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious wine regions, defined by gently rolling vineyards, fertile volcanic soils, and a temperate climate that nurtures famed grape varieties like Semillon and Shiraz. Stay n' Sip capitalizes on this legacy by delivering private sessions led by professional hosts skilled in both wine and art. They provide step-by-step painting instruction paired with insightful tasting notes that connect each wine to the region's history and character.
What sets this experience apart is its intimate approach: there’s no need to travel between cellar doors or navigate busy tasting rooms. Instead, guests receive a complete setup—canvas, paints, brushes, glassware, and a curated gourmet cheese plate—right where they are. This makes it an ideal option for groups of all sizes, from birthday celebrations and corporate retreats to couples looking for a relaxed, sophisticated alternative to traditional wine tours.
The flexibility to accommodate non-drinkers with refined non-alcoholic tastings ensures everyone can join. Evening or daytime, rain or shine, Stay n' Sip’s Paint n' Wine event brings the essence of Hunter Valley’s winemaking culture indoors while fostering creativity, conversation, and genuine connection. It’s an unforgettable blend of sensory luxury and hands-on fun that showcases a unique social side of this iconic Australian wine country.
