Looking for team building activities in San Mateo that end with everyone holding a finished painting? This two-hour paint and sip experience brings a professional art instructor, all supplies, and optional woodfired catering directly to your venue, for groups of 12 to 50 across the SF Bay Area.
No painting experience is needed. Each session follows a featured painting with step-by-step instruction, so beginners and confident painters work side by side and leave with artwork they are proud to display at home or at the office. The format stays relaxed and social by design: conversation, laughter, and connection matter as much as the brushwork.

Add Woodfired Catering
Pair the painting session with live pizza catering from a woodfired kitchen. If you have been searching for wood fire pizza catering near me for a corporate event, birthday, networking mixer, or reunion, this menu covers the whole table:
Starters: woodfired chicken wings with chipotle barbecue glaze or buffalo sauce, harissa spiced hummus with warm flatbread, jalapeno cornbread with whipped butter, and burrata with organic tomatoes and pesto
Salads: mixed greens, Italian chopped, classic Caesar, chicken cobb, a superfood bowl, and a roasted sweet potato and quinoa bowl with tahini dressing
Woodfired pizzas: 16 options including margherita, barbeque chicken, carne, calabrese with honey, prosciutto and arugula, quattro formaggi, funghi, salsiccia, smoked pancetta and yukon potato, artichoke and spinach, medjool date and chevre, beef back rib, and double pepperoni
Sides: mac and cheese, super greens, broccolini, roasted brussels sprouts, sauteed asparagus, and sweet potatoes
Desserts at additional cost: ice cream, flourless chocolate truffle cake, brownie stuffed chocolate chip cookie, Basque-style cheesecake, and homemade pie
How the Sharing Works
Portions are planned so the table never runs short: one order of wings serves four guests, one salad serves three, one woodfired pizza serves three, and three sides feed ten. A group of 20, for example, enjoys five starters, seven salads, seven pizzas, and six sides. A drink menu is available on request, with the first round submitted alongside the catering order.
Transparent Pricing
The experience with full woodfired catering runs $119 per person, plus a $100 fixed delivery fee. That covers the instructor, materials, food, setup, and cleanup, with no surprise line items afterward.
Why Teams Choose This Experience
Creative and fun for all skill levels, from first-time painters to hobbyists
Relaxing, seated, and social, a natural fit for team bonding
Encourages conversation and collaboration without forced icebreakers
Everyone leaves with a personalized keepsake from the day
Good to Know
City: San Mateo, CA. The experience travels to offices, homes, and event spaces across the Bay Area and works indoors or outdoors, with an indoor backup recommended for changeable weather. Table and chair seating with room to paint is all the space it needs.
Best for corporate event team building activities, birthday parties, networking events, reunions, employee engagement days, and client appreciation. Planning team building activities for work that people actually talk about afterward is easier when the paint, the pizza, and the cleanup are all handled.
