What is the cancellation policy?
Due to the custom nature of all of our classes, ALL reservation sales are FINAL. However, if you need to change your PAINTING reservation with more than 24 hours notice to your class, we can give you a class credit back to our studio. If it is less than 24 hours notice, for any reason, you can send someone else, or ask for the Paint at Home options, or forfeit your reservation. Please email olathe@pinotspalette.com with any questions or reservation changes. For all NON-CANVAS events, please see the individual class info for it's policy. For all PRIVATE PARTY deposits, there is a 2 week prior notice required to cancel. If it's less than that, the deposit will be forfeited, or you can move the party with at least a weeks' notice. Every party gets one date change, if a second date change is required, deposit will be forfeited. For our PROJECT PET event, once a photo is submitted, there will be no transfer of reservations. If you cannot make it to the Project Pet, you can still pick up your canvas.

Where and when do I pick up my Paint at Home kits
Kits are picked up during the next class day. Please keep in mind we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays and most holidays. Email Olathe@pinotspalette.com with any questions.
Is there an age minimum for the normal public classes?
We do have kid's specific classes, but the normal public classes have the following requirements: 10 to 17 years old with a painting adult, or 18 years old and up. Please check our calendar for Family Day's, we allow children ages 5 and up to paint while accompanied with an adult. Everyone does need a reservation to attend and they are a lot of fun!
What days are classes held?
Classes are held Wednesdays-Sundays . We occasionally have classes during the day, other nights during the week, view our class calendar to find out more!
Can I host a private event or mobile event?
Great question! You sure can! Email us at olathe@pinotspalette.com to get all the different package options.
What does a class cost?
Classes that are 2 hours start at $38 per painter. Classes that are 3 hour start at $45 per painter. Please note we also have specialty and fundraising paintings that may cost different.
I don't have any artistic talent, will I be able to complete the painting?
Absolutely! Our artist will guide you step-by-step through the featured painting and will ensure that you stay on track to completing your masterpiece by the end of class. There are no mistakes, but acrylic paint dries quickly, making any unwanted marks easy to fix and perfect.
When does the next calendar get posted?
We try to post the next month's calendar around the 1st of every month, but sometimes the calendar will shift based on extenuating circumstances. If you'd like to receive an email each month when our new calendar is posted, be sure to add yourself to our email list, found on the homepage.
What should I wear to class?
No dress code here...dress casual or dress up. We will provide you with an apron but painters have been known to get involved in their work of art. Our paint IS NOT washable, so please keep that in mind.
Can I bring something other than wine? Will there be something cold to put white wine in?
You can bring wine, beer, liquor or non-alcoholic beverages to Pinot's Palette Olathe. There will be a large ice bucket to put white wine in during class. We do expect all painters to be responsible with alcohol on and off the premises.
When do I need to arrive for class?
The doors will unlock 30 minutes before class starts to allow time for you to mingle and get settled in before the painting starts.
Can I bring a friend with me to just sit in and not paint?
Unfortunately due to our seating capacity we do not allow people to attend our painting classes without a reservation and painting.
What is the inclement weather policy?
We take the safety of our guests and staff seriously. We will monitor the local weather stations as well as local road updates. Should you not want to come to an in-person class due to weather, you will have the option of picking from one of our available Paint at Home paintings instead. If we cancel any class you will be issued a 2 month class credit to our studio.
Are there room fees for private parties?
If you want extra time to Paint, Drink and Have Fun, additional time can be purchased at $50 per 30 minutes. If your group happens to go over the allotted time, $50 per 30 minutes will come out of the deposit.
What do I need to bring to the class?
We provide the canvas, easel, brushes, paints, and apron for the class. All you need to bring are any drinks and/or appetizers you might want to enjoy! We also provide the wine glasses, corkscrews, ice & ice buckets, paper plates, napkins, and plastic ware.
Is there reserved seating?
Yes, we have your easel set up for you at your spot before you arrive for class. If you have friends attending the class that you'd like to sit by, you can let us know when you book the class or you can send us an email (just make sure you give us at least 24 hours notice).
