In Sliema, Vicky and Sole guide your private group through a relaxed two-hour painting session with wine, music, and all materials supplied. You need no art experience. When weather allows, you may paint on the terrace with views across Malta, then take your finished canvas home.
“For my bachelorette party, which I know was planned last minute by my sister and friends, we did a Sip and Paint session with Vicky and Sole and to say it was perfect is an understatement. They were super helpful with all the last minute details and they even offered their house because we didn't have a place to do the session. The vibe was amazing and the activity was relaxing and fun.”

“Our guide didn’t have a good command of English. I asked him where the bathroom was in Mdina and he either didn’t know what I was saying or whatever. I found it on my own. He also didn’t know what the tour was supposed to include. GRead more”
