Looking for something new to do in the Bay Area? Meet The Painted Trail—a fresh take on the Sip & Paint experience, now open just south of San Francisco at Ocean View Stables in Daly City.
Unlike your average indoor wine-and-canvas night, The Painted Trail sets up easels right along the coast, where horses graze nearby and salty air fills your lungs. Guests are invited to sip, paint, and relax while creating art inspired by ranch life, coastal views, and the natural beauty that surrounds them.
Not Your Average Paint Night
Forget fluorescent lighting and stock images of flowers. At The Painted Trail, every session is shaped by the environment. One night, you might be painting horses under a coastal sunset. The next, a foggy barn scene with rich textures and bold silhouettes. The subject matter is always grounded in place—real, rustic, and beautifully imperfect.
The Perfect Setting: Ocean View Stables
Tucked above the Pacific just minutes from the San Francisco Zoo, Ocean View Stables offers panoramic views, rolling hills, and a peaceful rhythm that’s hard to find anywhere else. It’s more than a location—it’s a vibe. And now, thanks to a long-term partnership, it’s home to this one-of-a-kind creative experience.
What to Expect
Whether you’re a first-time painter or just looking for a memorable date night, The Painted Trail has you covered. Each event includes:
- A guided painting class taught by a local artist
- All materials (canvas, brushes, apron, etc.)
- Light snacks
- A relaxing, outdoor setup with ocean views
- The chance to meet (and paint) the horses
- BYOB — Bring your own wine, cider, or bubbly
Events run on select Saturdays and are open to individuals, couples, friend groups, and small parties. You’ll leave with a beautiful painting, a great memory, and maybe a few new friends.
Why It Matters
The Painted Trail isn’t just another business—it’s part of a broader movement to reconnect people with place, nature, and creativity. In a world that moves fast and demands constant attention, painting outdoors with a glass in hand reminds us to slow down, look closer, and enjoy the moment.
Book Your Spot
Located just 15 minutes from San Francisco, The Painted Trail is now booking events for August Saturdays. Don’t wait—each class is limited to 20 guests to keep things personal and relaxed.
Come for the view, stay for the masterpiece.
