Rome Paint & Wine Class: 2.5 Hours Creating Art

Two and a half hours with a canvas, unlimited wine, and a professional artist guiding you through Rome's beauty.

A small-group painting class in Rome where you create art inspired by the city's most iconic sites while a professional local instructor guides you, with unlimited Italian wine and Roman-style pizza included over 2.5 hours. The class runs in English and suits ages 18 and up. You'll work with all supplies provided and leave with a finished piece. Private classes are available if you prefer one-on-one instruction.

The experience

You'll spend 2.5 hours in a 17th-century palazzo with a canvas, paints and brushes all provided, painting some of Rome's most recognizable landmarks while a professional local artist walks you through technique. The instructor guides a small group, not a lecture hall, so there's room to ask questions and watch how someone who knows the city actually approaches it. All art supplies come with the class, so you show up empty-handed and leave with a finished painting.

Unlimited Italian wine (red or white from a local winery) and Roman-style pizza arrive as you work, so the creative part and the eating and drinking happen at the same time. Non-alcoholic options (water, juice, soft drinks) are there too. The palazzo itself is the kind of old Roman building that makes the whole thing feel less like a classroom and more like you've borrowed someone's studio for the afternoon.

If a small group doesn't appeal to you, private classes are available where the instructor focuses only on you: useful for birthday surprises, team building, or just wanting the full attention without the crowd. Either way, you're making something to take home, not just watching a demo or listening to a lecture.

Top questions

Can I book a private class instead of the group session?

Yes. Private Rome Paint & Sip classes are available as a separate option at checkout, where the instructor works with you alone instead of a small group. This works well for birthdays, team events, or anyone who prefers one-on-one instruction.

What exactly do I paint during the class?

You paint Rome's most iconic sites: the specific landmarks depend on the session, but the instructor guides you through capturing them with the techniques you'll learn. You're working from the city itself as your inspiration, not copying a photo step-by-step.

Is the wine really unlimited?

Yes. Italian red and white wine from a local winery flows throughout the 2.5 hours, along with Roman-style pizza and non-alcoholic drinks if you prefer those instead.

Do I need to know how to paint before I sign up?

No. The class is designed for all levels: the instructor teaches technique as you go, and the group is small enough that they can adjust to where everyone is at. First-timers and experienced painters both work through it together.

What's the minimum age for this class?

You must be 18 or older to attend, since unlimited wine is included.

What do I need to bring, and what's provided?

Bring yourself. Canvas, paints, brushes, and all art supplies are included. Pizza, wine and non-alcoholic beverages are provided. The class takes place in a 17th-century palazzo, so the setting is already there.
