Frequently Asked Questions
What is paint and sip?
Paint and Sip events combine social drinking with painting. Our paint and sip studio is a Bar and BYO. Everyone gets a canvas and follows an artist's instructions to recreate the featured painting on their own canvas. Paint and sip is not a serious art course-it's about socializing and having fun.
Can I get a discount?
The best way to get discounts is to sign up for the Pinot Perks rewards program. You'll receive occasional discounts by email, and you can earn free paint and sip events! Sign up at https://www.pinotspalette.com/pinot-perks
Can I just come in and paint whenever?
No, our studio is only open during scheduled events. However, we do offer some open studio hours. Check our calendar for Open Studio events.
Do I have to paint the exact painting?
Not at all. Most people paint the featured painting. If you want to paint something entirely different, go for it! We just want you to have fun.
What does the cost include?
The cost includes all the art supplies you'll need and 2-3 hours of painting instruction from an artist.
I want to register, but not pay in advance.
Payment is required at the time of registration to guarantee a seat. We do welcome walk ins! To reserve a seat, we will need payment online or over the phone to ensure we can accommodate your seating request.
How do I pay in cash?
When you purchase items in-studio, like frames or wine glasses, you can pay with cash. You must use a credit or debit card to reserve a seat for a class. Advance registration is required.
What is open studio?
At Open Studio events, you get all the supplies needed to paint, but there is no featured painting. You can choose an image from our painting library, or paint whatever you want. There's no formal instruction, but artists are on hand to help.
Can I bring my baby?
No. Babies and small children are a distraction for other guests and make it hard to hear the artist's instructions. Most studios won't be able to accommodate a stroller or car seat next to your seat.
Where do we send our project pet photos?
Please email your photo in .jpg format to bluesprings@pinotspalette.com
Can we bring drinks?
Beer and wine will be available for purchase at the bar, or you may BYOB. Must be 21 to purchase, byob, or consume alcohol. Bottled water is complimentary.
