Learn how to make a negroni or any favorite drink
You can’t go wrong with mixology classes if your crew loves the idea of learning all the tips and tricks of pro bartenders. You’ll show up to a cool venue and have all the supplies you need ready to go.
Cocktail making goes a step beyond just getting drinks since everyone can interact with a shared activity. You’ll get one-on-one advice from your instructor and learn how mixers and garnishes enhance your spirit of choice. This is also a fun opportunity to create a signature cocktail to commemorate the bachelorette!
Are there people in your group who don’t drink? No worries, plan with your mixologist and they'll have non-acholic drink recipes to share so no one feels left out. We make it easy for you to put together an inclusive event and everyone will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Paint and sip parties make a fun night out
Is your bride an art lover? Painting with a twist is always a fun way to spend time with friends while enjoying your favorite wine or other drinks. You can choose the project, from acrylics on canvas to personalized wine glasses or tote bags, and get expert instruction from a local artist.
You’ll work with a glass in hand, so the workshop feels extra celebratory, and you’ll love being able to spend quality time amongs friends. Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, our paint and sip classes are perfect for beginners. There’s no stress to make a masterpiece, just go at your own pace and enjoy the process while you hang with your BFFs.
When your time is done, you’ll have a cool project to take home and remind you of your night out!
