Excellent visit, organized and super attentive staff. They definitely made it fun and I would absolutely comes back. You get two glasses of wine or whatever you want. They even facilitated a proposal so we had art and a show all in one.
Who dosen't love a good paint & sip? Laughing with friends while getting to paint a portrait under the direction of a trained artists while listening to good music is a always a fun time. I highly recommend Natassja as a host. I knew I was going to like her before we even got started the second I caught her striking poses for pictures! #Yasss She gets extra points for playing all the good tunes while we were painting (Michael Jackson FTW). She was a great instructor as well, there was not one time I felt like I was lost or confused while painting. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed with my experience at Pinot's Palette. I think my final product came out pretty good for someone who dosen't consider themselves artistic at all. I'm hanging my work up on the fridge.
Fun time painting and enjoying wine and paints with good company. A great way to spend an evening.
It should be Paint. Drink. Dance. Have Fun. Nastassja is an energetic and humorous hostess/instructor who can herd noisy cats like no other. The staff... Candace, Stacey, and Kim made the night flow easy for our large group assisting when the instructor was busy instructing. There are cubbies available to hold your belongings (no paint on my Purse please) and aprons to wear to keep our digs clean. (Choose your shoes wisely) Wine and sodas served in the rear and an intermission for refills. A night Filled with painting [trying something new or old and true] and dancing, singing, even improv supplied by the viewing auidence for our entertainment during intermission. Nastassja took me step by step through building my masterpiece and other staffers were there if you had replacement needs... They just don't paint it for you no matter how much I begged. They do private parties or nights to get 1 or 2 or more friends together to join others. A definite return for myself and a wonderful shout out to Tracey, the owner, for giving us a chance to try to reach our inner Monet... right in the heart of Ghent. A Real Neighborhood Gem... give it a try... check it out on their fb page... or go online and pick the painting you want to try and grab a friend or go single and meet new people. Like their moto says ... Paint. Drink. Have Fun.
This place is more than just an paint and sip it's a full on experience! I was invited by my cousin (who actually did karaoke there! Lol) and I've never been to a paint n sip class before but this is definitely a place I would come back to again and again! They serve up to 2 glasses per person of wine each about 5oz and you can choose from a wide selection from sparkling wine, red and white wine. (Tip: know your wine intake because it can affect your painting skills later on when the wine hits you Haha!!) The instructors where very attentive, fun and help to reassure you that you have it in you to paint this picture that's looks very difficult but in the end you will reach the finish line and see what not giving up really looks like! I was amazed at how good my paining turned out! Lol Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to do something as fun as this it's a great stress reliever.
I wa invited to come try Pinot's Pallet this week and was so glad I came. The atmosphere is cute with pantings all around, canvasses set up for your class and a brightly lit area for the teacher. Behind the main room is the most important room...the BAR! I had 2 glasses of moscato. The wine was perfect and the bartenders were pleasant. The painting portion of the night was very fun and relaxing. The teacher gave everyone enough time to try to recreate what she was doing and gave lots of tips. There were also 3 people walking around to assist you with whatever you needed. There was good music playing and fun games in-between. I enjoyed coming here more than other paint nights that are hosted in a loud and noisy bar. I highly suggest this place for a date night or a girls night out.
I checked out this place last night and was not disappointed. I had a blast listening to music, dancing, and sipping on some wine! I have been to other painting events in the past, but this is by far the best. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are extremely friendly! I think this is so important for people who have never painted before and are a little nervous! The staff take you step by step through the painting, which is nice for people like me who are not artistic in the slightest. They have cubbies inside to place your belongings and aprons to keep your clothes clean! All of the paint is already set up at each easel and there are plenty of staff walking around to check in and refill paint. I love that they display all of their artwork on the walls! It makes the environment more inviting and gives you a little inspiration. This would be a great idea for a girls night out or a date night. I had a great time and will definitely be back VERY soon!
I've always wanted to try a paint night and took advantage of an awesome Yelp event to try it. Really cool space and amazing employees. They were helpful, friendly and encouraging. I've never painted before and felt the step by step teaching to be easy to follow and execute. Plus, I got to have two lovely glasses of vino while I painted. I definitely want to go back and take my friends! Cool addition: they have a personal party room with black light painting. It would be a great kids birthday party spot. You don't have to be 21 to paint!
Spent yesterday evening in the company of random strangers making a masterpiece. I had a blast! The staff is friendly, fun, on point and on time. You are served a maximum of 2 - 5 oz pours of wine, so no one gets drunk, which is nice. You'll learn to create your own masterpiece in an environment free from competition and commentary. Everyone is here to have fun. The music selection is upbeat and invigorating. I definitely recommend this place for something different from the same old same old, it would be a nice, safe place for a first date too. They don't serve food, this isn't a restaurant. Several dinner options on the same block and a decent sized parking lot just a few steps away.
First visit. I made this super chunky throw blanket that I had seen on Pinterest. It was easy and all the effort of buying the materials and figuring out how to do it were effortless at PP. Plus i had a couple of glasses of wine to enjoy while I made my throw. I am already signed up for an event next week. It should be fun. I was surprised to learn it's not all just painting a picture, they also have theses pretty glass vases that you can decorate too. And they do parties and fundraisers. Way cool! You should definitely try it.
A friend of mine rented out the private room in the back for his birthday & boy did we have a great time , the artist that we had working with us were such a pleasure. Our 3 hours of paint came with two glasses of wine , the bartender allowed us to taste to see what ones we wanted before we chose a drink . It was a party of about 11 of us & we had a great time . They let us chose the music we wanted to listen to as we painted , the instructor we had was very patient as none of us had ever painted before she helped it we needed help & kept us positive when we thought our paintings looked terrible lol , she would not allow us to slander our work no matter how terrible it looked . This event was very fun I can't wait to go back & do another painting it was fun . The staff were welcoming
I went to Pinot's Palette in Norfolk with my sister and nephew for a Wednesday night paint-and-sip class, and we had such a good time! This was our first time here, although I've done quite a few paint-and-sip classes before. Our painting was a field of sunflowers, and I have to say, this was definitely one of the more technically challenging paintings I've done at one of these classes. That downward-facing sunflower was no joke , but it was still really fun and rewarding to see everything come together. Tracie led our class, and she and Star are the owners. They were both incredibly personable, welcoming, and helpful throughout the night. Star was working the bar and helping out around the studio, while Tracie walked us through the painting step by step. Our class was pretty small, only seven people total, which I actually enjoyed because it made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. I also really liked the space itself. The studio is much bigger than I expected, and they even have a separate room in the back for glow-in-the-dark painting classes. They showed us how the paintings glow under the UV lights, and it was SO cool. I'd definitely come back to try one of those classes. They also mentioned that the studio had actually flooded just the week before our class, which made it even more impressive that they had everything back up and running so quickly. One of the sinks was still out of commission because of the flood, but it didn't interfere with the class or our experience at all. Overall, we had a really enjoyable night. The atmosphere was fun, the studio was spacious, the painting gave us a little bit of a challenge, and Tracy and Star made the experience even better with how friendly and helpful they were. I'll definitely be back, and next time I might have to try that glow-in-the-dark room! read more

We found a sunflower painting event on Event Brite. My mom passed away in April, and she loved sunflowers and butterflies. My sister, teenage son, and I went. I always enjoy time with my sister and son, and I really like doing things that remind me of my mom. As soon as we went in we were greeted right away, had IDs checked for those of us old enough to drink, and we were able to get seated. Before getting started, we had the option of going to the bar. They offer a nice variety of wine, seltzers, and non alcohol options. There are also snacks available for purchase. Our hosts for the night were Tracy and Star. The class was a small one of about 7. They provide everything you need! This painting required a little more skill than I am used to, but the instructor was kind and very patient. I didn't feel rushed at all, and had no issues with getting help as needed. We were all happy with how our paintings turned out! My son really enjoyed his first paint night and said it's something he would do again. I've been to a few paint nights in the area, and I really enjoyed my time at Pinot. I've been to others where it seemed a bit too serious. This was fun! I'd love to come back and do one of their backlight paintings they offer where you paint in the dark and your art glows! *For the best pricing, book directly on their website! read more

Thank you for sharing your experience at our sunflower painting…
I got invited to go for a girls night at Pinot's Palette by an old friend. What a lovely way to spend a Friday night! First off the staff was so friendly and inviting. We were walked to the bar where we can choose the drink of our choice. They have a variety to choose from. You can get up to two drinks that are included with your reservation. Our paint night was extra cool because our session included black lighting which really brought out the colors of the paint and brought our paintings to life! Our instructor was really nice and explained throughly the instructions on what to do. She made it really easy to follow and gave tips on techniques. You don't have to be a professional painter to bring a masterpiece home. I had a blast! The vibe was everything! Good classic tunes playing, a room full of energetic individuals and wine. read more

My first painting in my life and I was extremely nervous. Got there early and had to ask another early patron what the routine is. Though I felt rush and unsure many times, Natasha, the instructor made it super fun and exciting to be there. She and all of the other staff checked up and ensured a new Bob Ross got it right. read more
