    I left this class feeling scammed and disrespected. I've taken five paint-and-sip classes, and this was by far the worst experience. If Karen didn't feel up to hosting a small class, she should've just cancelled. The owner, Karen, did not lead the class herself. Instead, she had a friend or boyfriend run the session while she worked on a separate personal project. She even joked he wasn't an employee; which wouldn't have been an issue if he had demonstrated "master artist" skills as indicated on the booking. He frequently referred to the reference painting on the screen to decide what to do next, which made the instruction feel disorganized and unprofessional. He repeatedly described the piece as "whimsical," but it felt more like a way to justify the fact that his version didn't resemble the painting that was advertised when I booked the class. By the end, the paintings produced in class, including the instructor's, looked very different from the example shown on the screen and on the website. This is where it became evident for me we'd been scammed since we signed up expecting to create something similar to the advertised image. Our version of the painting was very elementary. Very little shading instruction was offered so our paintings look very one dimensional. We even received contradicting instructions from the instructor and Karen. Overall, this class did not meet expectations in terms of instruction, professionalism, or accuracy to what was advertised. I would not recommend it based on my experience.

    This place is awesome. The energy. The music and the Artist that hosts the studio Karen is sooooo awesome. We are signing up for her next class already!

    I attended a team building event for work with co-workers where we did wine tasting. We received some education about each type of wine that we tasted and we scored the wines based on our preferences. We also got to experiment with pairings as we had many snacks to pair with, meats, cheeses, crackers and chocolates. After the tasting and scoring, we were able to create our own bottle with choosing the bottle color, foil color, designed our own label and created a formula for our own blended wine based on our scoring of the wine tasting. This was a fun experience and was first for me. This place is highly rated on Yelp and we had a great experience with Karen. Five stars!

    What an amazing way to celebrate Valentine's Day! Karen's instructions were clear and staff was super fun to be around! Definitely would come back anytime of the year!

    Such a fun experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and full of great energy. The instructor was fantastic--super energetic, encouraging, and made the whole class feel easy. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun and creative outing.

    With the best art instructor Karen

    We celebrated my daughter's sweet 16 hosted by Karen. She had mocktails for the kids and was a very good teacher to the teens! It's the second time I have done a party at Inspire's Art Wine. Karen and her staff is the best!

    Inspired art wine is a fun activity for couples, friends, and even coworkers. The class we went to was a guided beach sunset class. Our teacher, who so happens yo be the owner was very helpful in giving tips and helping everyone bring their artistic side out. We opted for the reisling and it paired well with the cheese board. Although the cheeses were good, I wished the board had more crackers or fruits to balance the taste. This studio offers classes for different levels of painters so if you're more advanced, I definitely suggest you looking into one of their oil painting or portraits classes.

    Came here with a group of us and oh my gosh I didn't know this place existed but it is so cool! The art teacher (I believe her name was Kathy) has so many cool stories about her career and is so knowledgeable and is great at showing exactly what we're doing when, which I appreciated. I love that they have a bar inside where you can order mocktails, cocktails, wine, etc. This made it so unique! Everyone is really friendly, personable, and fun... and it was nice to meet the owner, too! They play music, converse with you, teach you things, give you breaks to socialize and refill.. it is open and spacious.. I only have great things to say. This would be great for girls night, date night, groups, birthdays, etc etc.

    5 Stars!!! I took my entire dental office team for an awesome and fun team building experience! I've been to many paint/wine places in the OC but this is the BEST! Karen, the owner, is gifted in encouraging, inspiring and welcoming people

    had the best time at my first experience of an art class at inspired wine! karen and brian are THE best!!

    The entire staff here is a whole a** vibe. Super fun crew, very hospitable and friendly. They even walk around offering to take photos. And of course there's the painting. I didn't get to finish, but as someone who just dabbles in paints, I learned a ton and actually painted something fairly decent. And truthfully, my paintings at home take me days to months, so to have something that was nearly complete in 2.5(?) hours.. Can't wait to try it out again! Great for date nights, girl nights, etc

The ambiance was really nice (dim lights, beautiful paintings around) and overall had a very welcoming and comfortable feeling while still feeling upscale. By design, there were only 7 people in attendance at the tasting to promote a more intimate experience; which really added to the overall experience. I learned a lot about not only the actual wine we were tasting, but also about food pairings and good general wine tips. I really loved how the tasting/class was very interactive and conversational (yet structured) versus being talked at (or not talked to at all), as I have at other tastings. Overall, the tasting was a very thought out and well planned experience that I really enjoyed and really recommend! I went with some friends (and made new ones!), but would definitely come again as an outing for a date or would make a perfect girls night out! The wines and charcuterie presented were really good and varied a lot. I even found 2 new wines that I love! I am looking forward to taking one of the advanced speciality courses to learn more and have another fun night!

Well, let's fix that right now because this place should be a must-see destination when you are in Orange county. I'm not kidding, this place is an adult Disneyland! The moment you walk in the door it is a visual sensory overload. To the left isn't a complete cigar shop with some of the most elusive and amazing brands. It is definitely a must-see when you go in. The humidor is stocked to the gills, and they have every accessory you could possibly want. As you keep walking, to your left, they have an amazing gourmet chocolate section that is second to none. One of my favorite places to go and just wander around like a kid in a candy store... Literally. You have to go downstairs where the wine selection is. I'm not kidding you, it is like a half a city block long broken down into country, region, varietal, and tight. There are so many bottles to choose from. You can get anything from a $10 bottle up to a $17,000 bottle of wine If you are a bourbon, Scotch, or whiskey fan, you have to check out the selection that they have. They have amazing deals, they work with the distillers to have a great selection of high-end alcohol. Speaking of high-end, behind the glass obviously is the really high-end stuff like pappy, Van Winkle, whistle, pig and many others to choose from. Are they pricey? Yes they are. Are they hard to find, yes they are. Can I afford them? Absolutely not. But they are fun to look at like paintings in a museum. Here's the secret ticket for those of you going in at the back of the bourbon section, right next to the walk-in beer cooler, they have a discount rack where you can pick up bottles for seriously 90% hot. Hot it is definitely worth a look because sometimes you will find amazing deals on stuff that you never thought you could afford. Speaking of beer, you can buy kegs six packs, individual cans of just about any beer you can think of... And even some you did not know existed. It is definitely worth your while to go there and hang out for an hour. I can't end this review before bragging on the staff. Super nice, super helpful, willing to make suggestions, and just making your visit. Fun is the cornerstone of the experience. Super great people kind of like cheers, where they remember your name. Bottom line? You would be doing a disservice if you did not go check this place out. Highly recommended and Dan Leadbetter approved!

We began with the Aji tuna on crispy rice, topped with a delicate sliver of jalapeño and crispy shallots, a perfect balance of freshness, spice, and crunch. The second course was Stefanie's famous focaccia...one sweet and one savory. The savory version featured parmesan, her homemade bread and butter, pickles from her garden, and a touch of mustard seed. The bread, made simply with flour, water, and salt, takes two to three days to create. The sweet focaccia was equally impressive, topped with brie, honey, and a guava jam made from her own garden-grown guavas... truly special. Next came the sweet potato course, made from her garden's harvest and paired with roasted pine nuts and coconut-shaved gnocchi in brown butter. The flavors were rich yet comforting, and the presentation was artistic and thoughtful. The main course... short ribs with a stunning potato gratin, was a showstopper. The short ribs were tender and deeply flavorful, garnished with delicate edible flowers from her garden, while the gratin was layered beautifully and topped with a fragrant chimichurri. Dessert was one of the best I've ever had: a sticky toffee date cake with a caramel apple sauce made from apples in her garden, served with raw cream vanilla bean ice cream. The balance of warmth, sweetness, and texture was perfection. The wine pairings, thoughtfully curated by Oscar from Sequoia Grove Winery, elevated the entire experience, from the velvety Merlot to the bold Cabernet, every sip complemented the food flawlessly. What makes Chef Stefanie so special is her warmth and authenticity. She shares her passion for food and where it comes from in a way that's engaging and educational, never pretentious. She spends time presenting each dish beautifully, with an artist's eye and a chef's heart. Her artistry, attention to detail, and genuine love for her craft come through in every course.

    Great Food, But the Experience Needs Work!…read more My boyfriend and I attended a Sur La Table hands-on cooking class, and overall, the menu and food were great. Everything we made turned out really well, and the concept is fun. That said, there were a couple things that took away from the experience. First, be prepared to stand the entire time, including while eating. After about two hours of cooking, you're still standing while trying to enjoy your meal. By the end, I was honestly just ready to leave and ended up rushing through eating. Second, and more importantly, we were paired with another couple, making it a group of four. Meanwhile, other couples were not paired up. This meant we had to share tasks and the experience, even though we paid the same price. We came to cook, not to watch another couple cook part of our meal. For the price, I would expect a more consistent and fair setup across all groups. Sur La Table has a great concept and great food, but the experience could definitely be improved.

Her passion for what she does is obvious, and she shared so many helpful tips along the way. I'm comfortable in the kitchen, but this class reminded me there's always something new to learn. Huge thanks to Sur La Table for a fantastic experience, and an even bigger thank-you to Jessica for making us all look like pros by the end. Would absolutely take another class with her!

It's a great concept and fun but would not recommend this business to anyone.
