Paint and Sip VIP Events
We debuted “Champainting VIP” in October 2019, a luxury paint and sip experience at Wildlife Sydney Zoo Sydney and Sealife Sydney Aquarium. Private after-hours venue access, snack platters and drinks and a 2-hour paint and sip session in the heart of the attractions surrounded by wildlife were all provided to guests. Since then, we’ve expanded to Sealife Aquarium Melbourne and cooperated with other unique locations, with more unique venues on the way.
Our goal is to provide a pleasant and social environment for everyone to explore their inner artist. You can be confident that your Sydney and Melbourne Zoo sessions will be unique and unforgettable, as each session is led by an experienced team of artists.
