What does Paint Pinot do?
Paint Pinot have taken the paint and sip concept to the next level. Instead of holding complicated events where everyone comes along loaded down with their own food and drinks, Paint Pinot treats its customers to a fully functional Art Wine Bar. Clients can create a premium piece of art and enjoy beautiful food and drink options that are delicious and simple for you, the Franchise Partner, to prepare.
Why is this difference important?
Because it provides you with multiple income streams! You don’t just bring in revenue from event ticket sales. You can also benefit from food and beverage sales. Our guests enjoy a full-service Art Wine Bar experience unlike any others in Australia. For our Franchise Partners, this creates an opportunity to build a vibrant, profitable business where the sky is the limit.

Frequently asked questions
How much time do I have to devote to my Paint Pinot Franchise?
As they say – ‘The more effort you put in, the greater your chances of success’
But seriously, your franchise will take time to set up – it will be a full time job for the first 3 months at least. Once you’re up and running and let’s say – you only want to run events Friday night, Saturday and Sunday! Then, that is your choice.
We recommend that you are at every event, however, once you have competent staff you should be able to pop in once in a while and just check that everything is running smoothly. If you replace yourself as a staff member, then of course there will be more profit for you. Should you wish to open your Café other times, as a wine bar or Café then that is entirely up to you.
