I was initially not "inspired" when my work group decided to go here for our monthly team outing, but this was the best one yet. Karen was wonderful in guiding our team of 18 (or so) through the steps in painting our masterpieces, and the wine wasn't bad too. For a team building exercise, this was a good experience. The step by step instruction and the banter back and forth was lively and refreshing. If I have an opportunity to do a session here again, I would jump at the chance. Already thinking of signing up for the National Wine Day event in February. Highly recommend. Enjoy some painting, camaraderie, and some wine. read more

We hosted a private event at Inspired Art Wine, and it exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for bringing people together for a fun and creative experience. Karen, the owner, has a wonderful way of making everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their artistic ability. She provided clear, step-by-step instruction throughout the painting session and created an environment that was both relaxed and engaging. By the end of the evening, everyone was pleased by what they had created. The studio is bright, clean, and well organized, making it easy for guests to mingle and enjoy the experience. Karen also helped coordinate a beautiful charcuterie spread, and her wine selections were excellent. It was clear that a great deal of thought went into every detail of the event. What stood out most was Karen's hospitality and attention to her guests. She struck the perfect balance between guiding the class and allowing everyone to simply enjoy themselves. The time passed quickly, and there was plenty of laughter along the way. If you're looking for a unique and memorable venue for a team event, celebration, or gathering with friends, I highly recommend Inspired Art Wine. Our group had an amazing experience! read more

We had the best time at Inspired Art Wine's 10th anniversary. Our instructor Shelly was so kind, welcoming, and made the process feel doable. She has a wealth of knowledge and expertise that really enhanced the experience, plus, she is incredibly positive, too! Karen, the business owner and additional teacher at Inspired Art Wine is such a delight. She makes every person feel so welcomed in her space. You feel like you're in some small town sweet spot in Gilmore Girls or Ginny and Georgie hehe. The space is so welcoming and accommodates all levels (as you can tell by my painting lol). Also! For non-drinkers they have non-alcoholic beer, sodas, etc! Thank you Shelly, Karen and Karen's partner. We can't wait to come back! read more

I had such a wonderful time at this paint and sip! Karen was an amazing host--she was attentive throughout the entire class, made everyone feel welcome, and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The wine selection was excellent, and her hospitality really made the experience even more enjoyable. She makes the class easy to follow and entertaining for all skill levels. I highly recommend this place for a fun night out with friends or family. I'll definitely be back! read more

Inspired Art Wine is the perfect place to learn how to paint while sipping on some delicious wine! I'm not sure what's better, the wine or the art. The owner Karen was a fun Instructure! Leading us step by step in how to paint using acrylic. She was fun, upbeat and personable. 2.5 hours flew by! Did I mention the wine? Karen is also an expert in wine selection. You will not disappoint. This art studio is clean, organized and easy to get around. The bar is located toward the back of the studio with breaks every :30 minutes to get your wine glass filled up. Wine and beer is for purchase. You can even order a cheese plate ahead of time to much while you sip and paint. We did the holiday beach painting this time. Great place to hang with a few friends and connect. Become an artist for a day at Inspire Art Wine. I will be recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

I attended a work-related event here and can honestly say it was the best one I've ever had with the group. Karen, the owner, personally led our group with confidence, humor, talent, kindness, creativity... Our group painted wine bottles and even those of us with no artistic ability created wonderful keepsakes. Karen and her team are the epitome of grace and joy. I will be back with family and friends. I may grab someone off the street to join us as the time spent at Inspired brings people together in a special way everyone should experience. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great energy, great vibes, and great service! Wine options were great. Also, Provides a snack which is nice !

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 read more

We went to Inspired Art & Wine today for a work team builder night of fun. We were there to paint our pets. The pets were perfectly sketched out for us and ready for our own painting "expertise".

Awesome experience. I took my roommate for her birthday. I went for one of the more challenging paintings. It was tough, but Karen was able to make the steps easy to replicate, I wasn't sure if I would like the end product, but we loved our paintings. Karen is watching you like a hawk. She fixed my roomie's painting when she was struggling. She'll also save you from yourself and stop you from ruining it when it looks perfect. To top it off, she'll also tell you how to make your paintings better. Overall, great experience and Karen is a great safety harness every step of the way. Painting classes always put me in a weird position, since my roommate and I would probably end up with nearly identical paintings if I followed the instructions perfectly, but there's no avoiding that. I had a great experience here and I'd recommend anyone looking for a painting class to visit Inspired Art Wine. read more

Amazing night, we've never painted before and Karen did a great job teaching us. We left as artists! (Kinda)
