The Itinerary: What’s Included and What You Can Expect
The class runs for approximately three hours, giving ample time for creativity without feeling rushed. You’ll meet your instructor—who speaks both English and Italian—and the small group size (no more than 10 participants) makes for a cozy, engaging environment. The instructor guides you through recreating Roman sights, with helpful tips that are especially appreciated by reviews praising guides like Kulsoom and Giovanna for their approachability and technical guidance.
Throughout the session, you’ll be pouring unlimited Italian wine — a real highlight for many. Some reviews mention that the wine was “wonderful,” and the flow of drinks helps ease any artistic nerves. For those under 18 or non-drinkers, non-alcoholic beverages are available, ensuring everyone can relax and enjoy.
Artistic Creation: Bringing Rome to Canvas
The process is straightforward. The instructor will help you with techniques, but the emphasis is on enjoying yourself rather than producing a perfect masterpiece. Many reviews mention feeling like “artists for a night,” as the atmosphere encourages everyone to have fun, even if their painting isn’t museum quality. Guests often leave with a colorful souvenir of Rome, which they cherish as a unique memento.
The Food and Snacks
The class includes Italian taralli, which are lightly salted, crunchy snack rings. Some reviews suggest that a bit more variety in snacks could elevate the experience, but the taralli are a nice touch that complements the wine and keeps the mood lively.

Why It’s a Great Value
At around $44.41 per person, this experience offers an evening of fun, creativity, and local flavor. For that price, you get the art supplies, unlimited wine, snacks, and guided instruction—plus, the chance to take home your work. Many reviews highlight that the experience exceeds expectations, with guests describing it as “great value” and “an experience that’s a must in Rome.”
What Makes This Tour Stand Out?
The knowledgeable guides are repeatedly praised, with reviews mentioning how they help improve your technique and keep the mood upbeat. The stunning sights you paint—like Roman landmarks—add a sense of achievement and connection to the city. The wide selection of good wine and friendly atmosphere make it more than just a painting class; it’s a lively social event.
On top of that, the small group size ensures personalized attention, which many guests appreciate. The flexible booking and cancellation policies are also a plus, allowing spontaneity in your travel plans.

If you’re interested in local culture, good wine, and meeting people, this activity ticks all those boxes.
It’s also suited for those wanting a unique souvenir—a canvas painting of Rome—that’s more meaningful than a typical postcard. If you’re a creative soul or simply looking for an enjoyable way to spend an evening, this experience offers a nice balance of entertainment and cultural connection.
