I knew the night was going to be fun, but the artist helped to make it easy, too."The one-millionth guest arrived as the company was well on its way to a record-breaking year.

"Reaching this milestone is a true masterpiece, all its own," Cecccanti said. "When we opened the very first Pinot's Palette studio, our dream was to grow this business and share our love for art and entertainment in a new way. Now every single day continues to surpass that dream as more people experience this journey with us!"Today, with 150 studio awarded across the United States and Canada and a path of record growth ahead, Pinot's Palette has expanded into the fastest-growing franchise in the paint and sip industry that it has helped establish.
