wonderful time painting last night! staff is very friendly and guides you through each step. location supplies wine glasses and anything paper you need to enjoy any snacks you bring, but we arrived early and pre-gamed, once you start painting it moves pretty quickly. can't wait to go again for a fun night out
We tried this place for a Paint & Sip. The directions were very clear and the instructors were all very helpful and delightful. Wish they had given designated times for snacks and Sips and more socializing. But I understand there's is only so much time they could accomplish a whole lesson and time for food/drinks. We had a great time and will certainly try to attend another painting class in the future.
Was walking around and saw this place. From the outside looked like an art exhibit spot. Went in asked is this a painting school type of place and the lady said that they do sip and paints and gave me a card. Depending on my mood, I may come through and do some Bob Ross paintings!!
This place was sooo much fun! I went out for a girls night and we truly had a great time we took a bottle of red wine and painted the night away! They provided the wine glasses, wine/bottle opener, paint aprons, and organized everything perfectly! When it came down to painting, the in house artist easily guided us through the painting process I will definitely be back again!
[622] Whew .. This place is popular. Visited with a birthday party and the Sunday morning class sold out. Looks like it hold about 56 people. There was complimentary bagels and OJ so that was a nice plus. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our group really loved the instructions given to us to help us paint something we want to put on our wall. The individual spaces were super tight so I'm glad they had a cubby space on the side to place your purses. Too tight that I kept bumping people as I walked out of the space. The walls were coated with tons of cool pictures that can be chosen for a private party. When we arrived the area was set up including brushes, canvas, paints and water cup. They gave the birthday girl a gift so that was sweet. Parking was HORRIBLE. Since it was Sunday street parking was free.. well if you can find it. I parked 3 blocks away. Meters were only 2 hours so you can't really use it for a 2 hour class. Around the corner is a $5 lot which was full. Unfortunately due to the area there is nothing they can do about parking. I don't live in the area but if I did I would come back as we all had a nice experience.
Great place for paint and sip! The artist was great and explained everything well. I love my gnome painting. Parking sucks but what do you expect in Montclair lol
My son bought me a gift certificate last year for Mother's Day and I just got around to using it. I checked the website for the closest location which was Montclair and then I was able to check the schedule according to a variety of paintings. The painting that I really liked had a class scheduled for a Friday evening at 8:00 pm. We arrived a bit early to the class. Parking was a challenge and after riding around for about 30 minutes and skipping paid parking around the corner at a $10 Lot, we found a spot approximately 5 minutes away. The class was packed. There were a lot of people there yet the hostess explained where the wine was to go (you bring your own), where to get your wine glasses, etc. The hostess was thorough in explaining how to do the painting, she was also patient and kind. I really enjoyed my time at the Paint & Sip and would definitely recommend it. I know I plan on going back soon.
The staff at Pinot is amazing, they make painting your "masterpiece" a piece of cake. I am so happy to have attended, I would probably pass this place a million times and not try it, however it was so much fun, time flew by and I discovered that with the instructors guidance I could create my own "piece of art". During the process it does not feel so, however with every step, you get closer and more confident. The music selection was perfect for the activity, fun-upbeat or melodious-mellow. The couple next to me was hilarious, she was having a "controlled meltdown" every step of the way "omg, why am I so nervous, I don't know where to start" and he was hilarious "I see you are just branches all over, how many more do you need, are you just going to keep branching out?" Even the guys who were here tonight were having a blast. I had so much fun I want to come back with all my friends, I think I want to have my birthday here. Pinot thank you for a fun evening!
I've been to this location twice and it has been a great experience both times. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about trying a painting class and didn't know what to expect. Those nervous vibes went away fairly quickly into the class. My friend and I brought a bottle of wine and cheese to eat. They provide the wine glasses and dishes for your snacks. Some people in the class go all out and bring a lot of food and snacks, but once you get into painting it's hard to keep refilling your glass/grabbing snacks without loosing your place. The instructors here are excellent - they are willing to help you and make your painting exactly what you want it to be. They give everyone individual attention when needed. When I did the "Paint your Pet" night, I definitely took full advantage of the instructors! For $35-40 for one class, Pinot's Palette is excellent for a girl's night out, or basically any type of outing. They offer Sunday classes as well, which is a nice way to unwind before the start of the week. I definitely recommend trying out a class. One negative is the parking situation, but I've come to expect this with any places in Montclair.
My roommate and I just decided to go out to a paint & sip for the hell of it, and after looking at all the nearby events, we decided this looked like be best one. Did not disappoint! The step-by-step instructions were perfectly detailed and explained, and the staff was extremely patient and kind, especially for how large our class was tonight! I've never been so proud of how a painting at an event like this came out!
LOVE THIS PLACE! I have zero artistic talent whatsoever but I loved how they teach you how to paint. You can relax here alone or with some friends and you are welcome to bring wine, snacks, etc. They provide you with supplies and the smock so you don't need to worry about your clothes getting ruined. All their new month schedules are released on the 15th of each month so be sure to book early because the dates fill up fast! :)
Perfect place for a girls night out! Went here with a bunch of friends and actually rented out the entire space for a private party (we only needed to guarantee 10 or so). The place was bright and spacious and the employees/artists were super helpful. First piece of advice - book in advance - this place is popular! There are a ton of paintings to choose from, and if you have a private party, you can choose your own painting. The instructors are really good artists and their technique is awesome. This isn't one of those places where they already have stuff drawn in for you on the canvas. You do everything. They were able to get a girl like me, who could barely draw a stick figure, to paint a piece that is up in my living room and actually gets compliments! Bottom line, it's really a super fun place to go. Something out of the ordinary where you can still get your drink on. Definitely an experience worth trying! I can't wait to go back!
Perfect place to unwind and get creative! Grab a friend and a bottle of wine and paint, paint, paint! I highly recommend this spot. It's amazing to see everyone's paintings at the end of class.
I went to Pinot's Palette to celebrate my sister's birthday. Even though it was not a private party, we were able to get a full table reserved for our group. They had an ice bucket to chill our drinks and a table in the back reserved for us to put any extra alcohol or snacks that we brought. They also provided us wine glasses to drink out of which was so convenient! I really liked that the host had a microphone attached to her and the volume was loud enough to hear her over the chatter from birthday festivities and other group conversations. Instructions were easy to follow along to, and it was a great birthday overall! Highly recommend! read more

I came here for a private party and had a great time. The staff was accommodating with letting us set up some decorations, and were happy to take a bunch of pictures for us afterwards. We also were able to leave our art for a couple of hours so we could go to dinner which I appreciated. I'm used to a little bit more hands-on advice and feedback from instructors at paint and sips which is the only reason I took a star off but overall it was a wonderful experience! read more
I've been here twice and both were fun experiences! It's not that expensive considering how long you're here for. Parking is VERY difficult so come early. How easy it is to follow instructions largely depend on your instructor. I felt like I had to watch what they were doing rather than listen to them, because what they said they would do vs what they actually did were very different. Overall a fun, affordable outing! I'd recommend it. Even if you're not a good painter like me! Haha read more

First time ever trying something like this out and it was so much fun. We had a group of 8 girls for a friends birthday and they had our seats all reserved already so we all sat together. We forgot the wine but fear not because there is a liquor store up the street! The class was a ton of fun and really made you bring out your creative side. Next time i am definitely going to bring snacks or food because its about a 3 hour class and we were starving after. I will definitely be going back for another painting! The paintings dry really fast so your able to take your masterpiece home with you the same day. read more

Mixed feelings about my first experience at the Montclair location. We came in with high energy and it was a small class of 4, us included. Jesse was our instructor & although she gave detailed clear instructions on how to paint the Christmas tree, she was a bit curt if we asked for a little more paint, and instead of simply placing the plate back on the table, she would literally throw or toss the paper plate back at us after she added extra paint globs. And when we asked for her to take us photos, she oozed inconvenience. Her demeanor wasn't very cheery either & for such a fun event, she was quite bland & barely ever smiled. I'm extremely extroverted and social & for the entire class I was mute, because she just was not friendly. She came across like a math tutor if I were frank. I wanted to book a few other events, but I'd opt for another more fun instructor. Either way, we made the best of it. The decor is very cute & artsy, the tables were somewhat distanced though not exactly 6ft, alternative music was the genre played throughout which was relaxing, though I believe there should be a mix of genres for those who are not into alternative music. Don't glob on your paint too thick because you'll be walking out with a wet painting post class & may risk messing up your Picasso! Oh & there were boxes of finished works available for purchase- $10 for 2. Bring your wine & give this place a shot. Hopefully your instructor has better energy! read more

Came here a few months back and had a great time. Perfect for date night and doing something different with friends. First off I am not artistic at all so don't worry you don't have to be. They walk you through step by step. I even messed up to the point i got frustrated but my girlfriend helped me out and at the end I was amazed at how it came out. It is bring your own alcohol which is awesome. We didn't know it before hand but you can bring food as well. I definitely will be back. Check their website for themes of the painting and to purchase. I think we paid $90 for two. Create Memories! read more

Beautiful atmosphere. Perfect parking (you don't pay after 7pm). I was a bit nervous about the painting since it was very detailed BUT the instructor was super sweet and speedy lol. The instructor along with the other instructor floating on the floor were super helpful and patient. :) read more

Wow! Such a great time!!! Went with friends for a bday event. Totally worth it. It was ladies night, discount painting $29. It's a BYOB so you can really make the event your own (even though there are others there) they provide everything you need, flatware,plates napkins glasses and wine openers, you just bring your own food & beverage. instructors are great and let you do your own thing to make the picture yours. Make it unique. It's a nice studio. Very clean. Organized bright. Highly recommend!!! Can't wait to go back!!! read more

One of my girlfriends booked this as a "girls day out", I did not what to expect & I was a bit scared because I am not artistic at all! but I had a really good time, it was super fun being an artist for day, the teachers were exceptional at guiding us through the process and the best part is that is BYOB! Sipping on my wine really made it an relaxing yet fun experience. I would go back! read more

Went last summer for a friend's birthday celebration and our was a great and fun outing. It was the first time and I was glad to experience that. The class was fun, and the atmosphere was amazing. Two thumbs up read more
We had a great time here.. we brought a bunch of bottles of wine that they have glasses for and put them on ice for you and we brought cheese and crackers that they put on a side table for you. The studio is great and not over crowded -the vibe is fun with music playing and fun instructors. Using Amazon local discount we got tickets half price! I deff recommend going on a date or a double date or with a group of girls. we went on a double date and had a great time! My painting turned out being a little different than everyone else's some how.... read more
