Before You Book.
Anything else? Email info@fineartbartending.ca
How many guests can you host?
We can host up to 20 guests, but we typically recommend 12 because the space is intimate. At 12, everyone gets generous hands-on time behind the bar.
How much does it cost?
$75 per person for a minimum cost of six guests. We can host up to 25 guests. Everything's included— the guided experience, two tastings per guest, tools, ingredients, and the take-home recipe guide.
When are you available?
Evenings after 2:00 pm, Thursday through Sunday. Events run 2 hours. We recommend it as a pre-dinner activity, from 3–5 or 4–6 pm, so you roll straight into your night out.
How do I book and pay?
Tell us your date and group size and we'll send an invoice to pay by credit card. Your reservation isn't secured until payment is made. You can read our refund policy here.
Can we extend the event or rent the space?
Two hours is the sweet spot, so we don't extend events and we only host instructor-led sessions, so the space isn't available as a bare rental
Are mocktails offered?
Absolutely. Mocktail options are always available, and the experience is built around the fun of making drinks so everyone's involved.

The instruction was delivered well and in a very entertaining fashion. We practised making numerous drinks and had a blast competing against each other.
