Nine Fine Facts About Wine

Our painting and wine classes are all about the concept of learning how to make a work of art while you’re about to sit and enjoy a glass of wine with your work. We proudly stand by the belief that anyone can paint, but with the majority of our customers being first-time painters, a little wine always helps to relax any nervous painters (and bring about a little creativity).
Though our studio is currently closed, we always have a bar stocked with some excellent choices of reds, whites, and sparkling wines, ready for you to choose from when you're in the studio for a class!
With wine dating back more than 9.000 years, there’s obviously a large amount of information out there about it; We’ve done a little research and found some really interesting facts about our favorite spirit.
Enjoy!
