Get ready for the ultimate artistic adventure that combines boundless creativity with breathtaking views of the Dandenong Ranges in Puffing Billy Railway’s all-new Paint & Sip experience.
Offering an unrivalled opportunity to connect with nature, find inspiration, and explore your artistic side, the three-hour Paint & Sip session starts with a captivating steam train ride from Belgrave to Lakeside, allowing you to traverse the heritage railway route, including the unique opportunity to dangle your legs from the carriage sill, and let the beauty of nature fuel your imagination.
Once at the Lakeside Visitor Centre, prepare to indulge in an afternoon of painting with friends or family, where you will be greeted with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine upon arrival.
Then, with a paintbrush in one hand and your favourite beverage in the other, step into a world of vibrant colours and self-expression and enjoy an immersive two-hour guided painting lesson.
Led by talented local artist, Kristina Kimtia, you will receive step-by-step instructions and expert guidance to create your own take-home masterpiece.
And as you settle in, a delicious grazing table filled with cured meats, pickled vegetables, a selection of artisanal cheeses, crispy dukkah coated pita crisps and more will be served, perfectly complementing your creative experience.
Before long, it will be time to wrap up the session, gather your newest piece of art and the many memories made along the way, and make your way back to the train for the return journey to Belgrave.
All Tickets include the 2-hour return train ride from Belgrave to Lakeside, 1 x glass of Sparkling Wine upon arrival to the Lakeside Visitor Centre, 2-hour Paint & Sip session with Kristina Kimtia, A4 sized self-painted canvas to take home and access to the Grazing Table.
