What is the Alicante Paint and Sip Workshop?

This activity transforms the idea of traditional wine tastings into an artistic experience. Instead of painting on a canvas, you’re guided through decorating a wine bottle, turning it into a colorful, personalized piece of art. This makes it not only a fun activity but also a perfect way to craft a keepsake that can be displayed at home or gifted to someone special.

The workshop is hosted by the friendly team from the Artevivo and starts at Café Bardin, where an artist in an apron welcomes you. The entire session lasts around a couple of hours, making it an ideal evening activity that balances creativity and relaxation.

The Itinerary and What to Expect

The actual workshop is straightforward, but it offers enough variety to keep it engaging. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your guide, who will explain the process and show you the supplies — acrylic paints, brushes, palettes, and protective aprons. All materials are included, so there’s no need to bring anything besides your enthusiasm and clothes you don’t mind getting paint on.

Once seated, you can choose your design theme — whether floral, abstract, playful, or elegant — there’s plenty of room for personal expression. The guide will walk you through simple techniques, such as exploring colors, patterns, and textures, making this accessible even for complete beginners.

Throughout the session, you’re encouraged to enjoy your two drinks of choice — options are wine, beer, or soft drinks. Music plays in the background, creating a lively, convivial atmosphere. As one reviewer, Dennis, pointed out, “Anna is an absolute angel and clearly super talented, helping us make our bottle actually look good.” That kind of personal touch makes a difference, especially for those who might feel shy about their artistic skills.

By the end of the evening, you’ll have a completely personalized bottle, which you can keep as a memento or gift. The setup also encourages photo opportunities with fun props, perfect for sharing your creations on social media.

The Social Vibe and Group Size

This isn’t a solo art class. The workshop’s social nature means you’ll be sharing laughs, ideas, and perhaps some wine with a small group. The group size tends to be intimate enough to allow personalized guidance, making it suitable for couples, friends, or even solo travelers looking to meet new people.

Guides speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian, ensuring clear communication regardless of your background. The atmosphere is described as “good vibes,” and the instructor’s helpful attitude makes it easy for everyone to relax and have fun.

The Quality of Guidance and Materials

One of the highlights, based on reviews and the description, is the step-by-step guidance. You don’t need any experience, as the instructor will walk you through each stage, from choosing your colors to final touches. The acrylic paints are of good quality, and the supplies are plentiful, so you can experiment freely.

Dennis’ review emphasized how the artist’s help transformed their bottle into something “actually looking good,” which is encouraging for first-timers. The professional guidance ensures that even those with minimal artistic confidence leave with a product they’re proud of.
