6 Most fun sip and paints in Antwerp

Antwerp has always been the beating heart of the Belgian art scene, so it’s no surprise that the city is currently obsessed with the Sip & Paint phenomenon.

With so many new workshops popping up, choosing the right vibe for your next night out can be a challenge. Whether you’re planning a unique date night, a bachelorette party in Antwerp, or a creative team-building activity, we’ve curated this guide to the highest-rated painting workshops in Antwerp. Let’s find your perfect match!

1. Rembrandt van Wine

If you want a Sip & Paint Antwerp experience that breaks all the traditional rules, Rembrandt van Wine is the place to be. After massive success in London and Amsterdam, the signature ”Neon Madness” has officially taken over Antwerp.

What makes this special? You paint completely in the dark! The studio is illuminated only by powerful blacklights, and you use professional fluorescent paints that make your canvas (and the room) glow. Located at the industrial-chic Wolf Sharing Food Market, it’s a high-energy, immersive creative workshop where the music is loud, the disco balls are spinning, and the wine is flowing.

You can choose from a wide variety of different themes to suit your mood. The studio is filled with handy instruction cards for each theme that guide you through your painting step-by-step. Throughout the session, the expert painters and friendly hosts are always on hand to top up your wine and share their best tips and tricks to make your neon masterpiece truly pop.

She hosts these creative sessions at her own home for a maximum of 9 people, creating a warm and welcoming environment.

If you have a slightly larger group, she can also bring the workshop to an external location of your choice (minimum 6 and maximum 15 people).

3. Champaint

If you are looking for a Sip & Paint Antwerp experience with a touch of class, Champaint is the place to be. As the name suggests, they trade the standard glass of wine for a cold glass of bubbles. Their workshops are designed to be a “luxury creative escape”, focusing on trendy, modern painting styles that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique gallery.

They often host their sessions in bright, high-end locations around Antwerp, such as the Fosbury & Sons co-working spaces. It is a fantastic choice for a sophisticated night out or a high-end bachelorette party in Antwerp. Their champagne is delicious and the atmosphere is effortlessly chic, making this a highly recommended experience for those who want to feel pampered while they create.

Instead of a random landscape, you work on a portrait, often inspired by their world-class photography exhibitions.
