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

so much fun!

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!!

[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.

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.

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 Masterpiece
Eve H.

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!

Paint your pet night

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!

Painting I made. "A Walk In The Snow"

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.

See all

I would recommend this business to any of my friends interested in throwing a party. I planned my…read morehusband a surprise birthday party while I was traveling internationally and Mark was really helpful. He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

I was throwing a birthday party for my Mother and wanted something festive and classy. I…read morebrainstormed with Mark, referring to some of the pictures on his website, and he figured out exactly what I wanted. They delivered the fabulous balloon arrangements right on time (a couple of hours before the party) and the delivery person was very helpful and friendly! Almost everyone at the party told me how much they loved the balloons. A great experience from start to finish!
