Had an amazing experience creating our very own unique candles at Pinot's Palette. We went on a Sunday and we were lucky enough to have the room to ourselves. Candle making was relaxing and the instructor was very helpful. Also, I had the Anaheim chicken taquitos from their menu and they were great. I thought they had a pretty good selection of drinks and food items to choose from. I had a mocktail and it was pretty good! I really enjoyed the whole experience and I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a low key new experience to enjoy with friends!
For the 1st time in my adult life, I finally got a chance to socially paint with friends and family. It was exciting and I was confident I was about to produce the most average rendition of whatever I was supposed to copy. I have to say, I had a blast. I loved every element of this outing. I enjoyed sitting! I love sitting. I enjoyed the easy access to the bar chocked full of great signature libations and tasty bar level bites at the ready. For this particular night I was celebrating a family member's birthday and we were about 20 deep ages kid to old! Our painting was done under neon lights and I loved how interactive our host was! I believe her name was Riley! I want to give her credit for working with our group and keeping us entertained with jokes and great music. Vibes were up! She was also an amazing artist and made everything look so easy! She was great with directions and when the lights went on at the end of the painting, I was really happy with my work! Im not artistically gifted outside of stick figures, and a clean "Cool S" This experience was great. I want to do this again! If you haven't done a paint night with the friends or Fam, I would say it's a worthwhile experience!
Such a fun and great experience! I've gone here a couple times and really enjoy the relaxed vibes and the food and drink available for purchase. I enjoy their mango mocktail too! The instructors are quirky and fun, but not stressful! They're kind. They also have a good deal on their paintings for purchase, $5 each!
Came for a pain class with some family and I must say it was an incredible experience. Everything is set out for you paint brushes, as well as canvas. A instructor goes through each and every step while painting with you the instructions are super easy and you can always ask questions. You're also free to make it your own if you would not like to follow the instructions. Teacher gives you plenty of time to work at your own pace. They also have a bar and food options. I got the shark bite which tasted incredible super sweet. We also tried out the Moscato. Very delicious. They have an array of food items like pizzas and shareable appetizers lovely place to try out with friends or family or even just on your own. I saw that they also do mosaics so definitely come and check this place out. I will be back.
I wish I could give zero stars for how dishonest and unprofessional this location is. I've been to Pinot's Palette Elk Grove before and enjoyed the classes, but what happened recently completely changed my opinion. I missed a class due to a minor car accident right before it started. I immediately called the Elk Grove studio directly (twice) and emailed the studio email listed on their own website -- I have time-stamped proof of both. I never received a call back or response. Over a month later, I finally got an email from the studio manager claiming I contacted the wrong place (not true) -- and worse, an entire month later they FALSELY told my credit card company that I attended the class, which is a complete lie as you can tell by their titled email. All I originally asked for was a class credit, not a refund. Instead, they ignored my communication, misrepresented the situation, and fought to take my money after falsely reporting that I showed up purely out of spite for "losing money" as their email stated and seemed to be all they worried about. I don't understand how they even lost money if I never came to a class, which means I never used their materials or their canvas which they were able to put right back to use for someone else. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a business that's supposed to be built on community and fun. I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone -- they don't value honesty or their loyal customers, all they want is your money so if you are in an emergency, don't expect them to be understanding. Save your time and find somewhere else to go.
I've been here twice for candle making classes. Both were great experiences and slightly different from each other. Both experiences the staff were super friendly and helpful. The bartender (who also ran the paint class) was helpful and had good flavor suggestions for mimosas. Most recently I visited in a large group. We enjoyed the $20 bottomless mimosas and a variety of finger foods. The candle making class is so beginner friendly and does not require much artistic ability. There were a handful of free vessels to choose from, and a variety upgrade options. There were about 30 different scents to choose from. In the first candle class I did here they gave us time to decorate the vessel prior to pouring the wax so you could tilt it to glue things on. This time we did the scent and wax first and decorated it from the upright position which made some glue and items drip. There are a bunch of different rocks, crystals, glitter, ribbons, etc to choose from for decorating the outside of the vessel and the top of the wax.
My friends and I came here for the candle making class. It was so much fun! The candle making room is separated from the painting room. First, each person picks their own candle vessel. Each vessel are color tagged. If the tag is white, there is no additional charge. If other colors, there will be additional cost. After, you go to your assigned seat. Our instructor gave us all the instructions and how things work. She was very informative and energetic. She then separated the class into groups to pick out their scents to add into the wax. There are around 50 fragrance scents to choose from. After choosing your fragrance, you can select all the available decorations to add to your wax or outside the vessel. For the wax, the staff will prepare and weigh it for you. I really wanted mine to look nice but I did the best I could as time wasn't my best friend lol. Show your creative side!
My daughter and I had such an amazing time here. They have everyone nicely separated so you don't feel stuffy. The staff was all friendly and we had such a blast. My daughter was so excited to hang our paintings in her room once we got home.
I've been to this location 3x now and it's has consistently been a great experience. The instructor has always been friendly, helpful and has great energy. I am not a painter but they do such a good job in having you follow along. They encourage you to have fun and not take it so seriously which is nice since not everyone has painting experience. They also have a bar with drinks and food. You can also bring your own wine with a corkage fee. Highly recommend if you're looking for an activity to do.
I have 0 artistic skills and was not expecting to enjoy the class much. A friend set it up and I was blown away! We went early to grab drinks and food and it was great. Stacy was so friendly and passionate and the instructor was awesome. The techniques were taught so well even I could do it It was incredibly relaxing, I will absolutely be back.
Super fun experience. Staff was amazing, drinks were okay, definitely ask staff for recommendations
Our experience was nice. Not thrilling, but nice. The class was really popular, so they opened it to a few more people, which I appreciated since I was waitlisted. They put us in a small room, which is fine because the main room was FULL. What I signed up for was a really pretty, spring hued painting. What I took home was moody. What I signed up for had large flowers. What I took home had small flowers. What I saw in the main room upon my exit were paintings that more closely resembled what I thought I was signing up for. The colors were more like the class sample, the design was more like the class sample. Everyone appeared to feel confident and happy with their creations. Our instructor acted bored and like she came in on her day off. I don't know, but I suspect she was telling us to use the wrong colors at the wrong time and also the wrong size brushes, especially for the flowers. The instructor's painting looked NOTHING like the class sample. If SHE couldn't do it, how could we? I think she was learning to paint it at the same time we did & really didn't know what she was doing. Our room was very quiet. No one was talking. One of the bar servers even mentioned how quiet it was. I've heard of "fun" and "lively" instructors with personality at this location, not that I wanted her to spin plates & ride a unicycle or anything, but DANG. Since today is a holiday celebrating moms, why couldn't our classroom have had a more cheerful energy? We took a break to let our canvases dry a bit & while I used the opportunity to get clean water for my brushes, I noticed an entirely different vibe in the main room. People were light and having a good time. It would be nice if an instructor name was posted with classes going forward because if I ever came back, I would not want today's instructor again.
Riley was awesome! Great paint nite date night! Thank you ! Book your next date night here for sure it's Fun you can drink and eat!

Although I find painting to be therapeutic, it is not a talent that I was blessed with. However, I was excited when my wife arranged a couple's date at Pinot's Palette with our friends. Arriving 20 minutes prior to our scheduled session, we placed food and drink orders at the bar (my wife and I opted to order two Old Fashioneds). We then proceeded to enter the classroom where we met our instructor (unfortunately I did not obtain her name). After giving us a few tips, we started the project. Our instructor did a great job of pausing after each step to ensure that everyone was on the same page and even walked around the class to offer suggestions (I felt like I was in university again). I'm so thankful that I only had one drink, the bartender working that evening made some potent cocktails (not a complaint). If you can imagine, remaining focused on painting when buzzed is a challenge in itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Pinot's Palette and the romantic paint selection was appropriate for a couple's night out. Also, the music selection was on point! We will definitely make a return visit for their candle making class! read more

The class size was small, allowing for personalized feedback and interaction. Great service from the restaurant/bar staff . read more

Came here for a surprise Valentines Day outing with a friend and it was pretty great. Our instructor was a chipper 18 year old whose name escapes me ... sorry babes :( She was phenomenal with her instructions and set the vibe and tone for the night. Loved that the place had not only a full bar with specialty cocktails but also an abundance of food choices at a reasonable price. I definitely plan to go again. My camera died so didn't get many pictures of the bar area but just trust this place is legit and you should give them a go. read more

From FFA fundraisers to family outings, my kids love painting here! My youngest daughter is Autistic and very interested in painting, and the instructor she had for her painting class was so supportive of her and went above and beyond to encourage her. My son has a very short attention span, and when he got restless, we walked quietly around and the halls are decorated like galleries, he was so excited to see all of the art. Even the restrooms are decorated!! He asked me why our bathroom didn't have "art walls" lol! The location is very quaint located in the heart of old town Elk Grove, although getting in and out of the lot can be a bit scary with traffic. When painting you have a choice of canvas, or even items like wooden trays or raw wood cuts. At Christmas we did trays, as well as a wood cut and they turned out beautifully. Now they are keepsake pieces of our holiday decor! I would highly encourage anyone to enroll in a guided painting class, they are perfect for groups, date night or even just a solo day to unwind. They offer children's classes as well! In addition to painting they also offer candle making classes. I will continue to come back, we can't get enough of this place. read more

Hello, if the class is 3-6pm , is that the whole duration we have to be there?
Yes that's my experience, because the whole class does each step of the painting together. I'd suggest going even a few minutes early so you can take advantage of their excellent bar and grab a drink and snack which you can keep handy while you…
Can I bring my baby? He will most likely be sleeping
I believe you can. I would call to confirm.
How much are drinks?
Bottled beer is $4 and wine runs $6 to $9 glass. Sometimes we run drink specials. Check out our calendar!
Can you sign up and pay in person for the same day session? Or do you have to do it all online
You can do it either way. We are happy to accommodate walk ins as long as there are seats available.
