Connect with family, friends, and colleagues or unwind with a hobby at home in paint and sip classes online! If you're looking for fun things to do at home, you can learn new skills and create new memories with these virtual art classes. 

Whether you’re based in New York City or San Francisco, ClassBento has enough online paint and sip classes to keep you busy for weeks. Since these classes are virtual, they make great rainy day activities, things to do at home, and remote team building activities, letting you get creative without leaving the house.

Need more reasons to go for it? Here are seven reasons to give our virtual paint and sip classes a try in 2026.

1. Get creative virtually

Online paint and sip classes all take place virtually so that makes it easy to participate when you have to stay close to home. Just because you’re stuck inside doesn’t mean you should put a pause on new ideas. With online art classes, you can get creative from the comfort of home, making the process of putting paint on canvas accessible to all.

With a paint and sip at home class, you’ll be able to enjoy the creative benefits of painting within your own space. Unwind, pour your favorite glass of wine - or mix a mocktail - and get ready to learn to paint. Your teacher will take you through the process step-by-step and you can ask any questions you may have, and painting kits will be delivered in advance of the class ready for you to use. So, no matter where you are in America, you can partake in these virtual painting classes.

Sometimes trying out a new creative hobby can be intimidating. There are lots of steps involved in enrolling in a class, carving out the time, and transporting yourself to and from the class's location. By learning how to paint online with a virtual workshop, you remove several of these barriers to entry. Your DIY craft kit will be mailed to you, so all you have to do is sign into the Zoom room and get ready to try out something new for an hour or two. It couldn't be easier! With a glass of liquid courage to add a little fun energy to the mix, virtual paint and sip classes are the most fun way to learn how to paint. 

2. Restore a sense of mental balance

The value of art workshops on mental wellbeing is especially important these days. With paint and wine class, you have the perfect chance to take some time out for yourself, restoring a feeling of overall balance and calm to your otherwise hectic life. You’ll come away from virtual painting classes with a restored sense of peace and positivity, ready to take on whatever challenges are thrown your way.

If your pet is your best friend, there is nothing that will make you feel better than a painting that celebrates your furry companion. Join a paint your pet workshop online and learn how to paint your beloved animal friend! Grab your favorite snacks and a drink you love, unpack your paint and sip kit, and rediscover your mental balance.

3. Make memories with a long-distance friend, partner, or parent

In our digital age, it’s easier than ever before to keep in contact with a loved one who lives on the other side of the country. But even with all that technology, it’s easy to keep delaying a catch-up phone call as life gets in the way. But by getting a date in the diary and booking a painting class online, you and your loved one are committing to spending that time with each other. 

It’s easy to lose touch with friends, as life is so busy. But by booking virtual paint and sip classes, you are offering each other the chance to reconnect and make memories together. Paint with wine at home as you and your partner can spend time together, having fun and learning a new skill from the comfort of home. Plus, whenever you look at your piece of artwork, you’ll be reminded of your loved one, so it’s a really special way of cherishing someone you love. They're even ideal as virtual parties for your at-home holiday celebrations with faraway loved ones. 

With Paint the Town's paint party at home class, you’ll be introduced to the world of color by a friendly and talented artist. You’ll be able to select a painting that you’d like to create as the class begins before getting hands-on and putting paint to canvas. Pour a glass, grab a snack, and ready yourself for a soothing night of painting with a twist.

4. Learn a new skill

Virtual paint and sip classes are designed to be warm and welcoming environments. There’s no pressure to create a masterpiece – it’s all about letting go, enjoying the process, and savoring a glass of something delicious. You’ll learn to paint with an expert guide and be able to ask any questions you may have. You can also use these art classes to reconnect with yourself while challenging yourself as you learn a new skill. 

If you book paint at home: an adventure in color, you’ll choose in advance whether you want to work with soft pastels, mixed media, or acrylic paints. Your award-winning teacher Mandar will have you getting comfortable with whichever medium you choose, giving a demonstration and guiding your creative practice.
