Late post: I booked a paint and sip experience with my mom and family. I arrived on time, but they arrived a few minutes late. Once the class started, I had to step away from my own painting to help guide them through the first few steps, which felt a bit off. The instructor moved through the class a bit too quickly at times, and I found myself trying to catch up. As someone who doesn't paint, I would've preferred a slower pace. Wine is not included, but they do offer a selection for purchase. Overall, it was a nice experience, but could be more enjoyable with a more relaxed pace and clearer accommodation for late arrivals. read more

I'm giving this two stars for the amazing staff and seemingly sweet instructor, but deducting for the owner. I reached out privately to the staff, who responded immediately, informing me they sent my complaint to the owner who would followup- it's been over a month though, so I reserve the right to now give me experience with this location. Experience: My friend and I were going through a lot in 2025 and I thought a paint night for us would be a great solution to pick up our spirits, little did I know choosing Pinos Palette was a terrible decision... When I arrived, the instructor and everyone there seems super sweet and it seemed like it was gonna be a fantastic night. Unfortunately, my friend (who also suffers from anxiety) was rushing through traffic to make the tough call time in Pasadena. She arrived just as the class was starting, and we were excited to get together and start painting, unfortunately in her rush, she forgot her drivers license. The door person to check people in pressured her to find her ID, which she couldn't, we asked if we could just paint we weren't even planning on drinking that night, but the guy refused and instead gave us a little slip of paper telling us to text this number and ask for a reschedule. I knew at the time that we should've just painted because it was gonna be near impossible to go back and find another time during the week, As again it's Pasadena in traffic is insane. Why is it a 7 PM class? But I shook it off and texted for a reschedule for my friend, but again she suffers for anxiety and has spontaneous fits that make it hard for her at times. And unfortunately, she had anxiety attack right before our reschedule time so we were a few minutes late and saw them painting inside. We didn't want to disturb the class so I texted the owner again to please reschedule, And what does he do? He texts back with a stern "this is your last chance". You're the business owner and that's your attitude? How about a refund upfront because such energy is dark and a pain to deal with- When I'm going through all this just to try and make my friend happy. So we missed our chance because they don't offer refunds, but you know what good! Because after that text and the owner's attitude, screw going to this place. Everyone's going through a lot and you're gonna treat people like this? read more

Wine and paint night for Galentines is the best. This is the second time we decided to have Pinot's Palette host us for our girls night. The instructors are knowledgeable, helpful, and the vibes are perfect. There's a mini snack bar, no Chacuterie, and an assortment of wine, hard cider and more should you be interested. Everyone is so friendly and it's such an ideal spot for girls night, artists, and dates. There's metered street parking, but if you come for the 7-9p classes, it's only an hour parking because after 8p it's free. There's an underground parking garage I didn't see, but I know it exists. We came in on a Tuesday and the parking situation was easy, consider coming earlier to find parking if you decide to partake during a weekend, and having dinner prior should you decide to sip and paint. read more

I came here for a company team-bonding activity and my experience here was great, but after speaking with my boss about the logistics, I have to rate this spot a little lower. My boss wanted to a book a painting session here with the jigsaw painting. My boss mentioned he contacted the owner a couple times, but the owner wasn't clear. The owner mentioned he couldn't do the jigsaw painting for our group, but gave in last minute. This was stressful for my boss logistics-wise. Other than the reservation issues, my experience here was good! We had an instructor guiding us throughout the whole experience and she was fun and nice! I liked the setup where she painted alongside of us and her painting was recorded on the monitor which was easy for our group to follow. We did a jigsaw puzzle painting which was really cool since it was a bunch of mini canvases coming together to create a larger painting. It required team work which was perfect for our team bonding activity. The brushes and paint were easy to use and they gave us aprons so we wouldn't get our clothes dirty. There was also a bar inside, so I enjoyed sipping on the sweet moscato while painting. The paintings needed a day to dry and they were available for pickup the following day. I asked the instructor and they also gave us the test painting (the one she was working on) for free. Overall, a good experience here but I would be weary of the booking logistics. read more

Bachelorette party came for one of the classes and had a blast! Would highly recommend for groups. The instructor was thorough and helped explain how to accomplish the final look for those not familiar with painting, and the assistants were helpful as well. They have wine, beer, and mocktail options! Everyone for our group said they would come again. read more

I've been invited to Pinot's Palette a few times before for paint nights, but last night was my first time initiating a visit on my own -- and it did not disappoint! My friend and I signed up in the afternoon for a 7pm class, and when we arrived about 15 minutes early, everything was already perfectly set up with our names. So cute and so organized! We got settled in and class started right on time. It's such a fun experience, no matter who you go with. Even if you're not artsy at all, you can absolutely do this and have a blast. The instructors make it easy and enjoyable. I also signed up for their rewards system and even got a coupon for my next visit -- love that! Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

This was an amazing experience with Tiana, our artist. Nancy and Freddy had great hospitality! The artist was a great teacher and the pours were good. What great fun. We will be back! read more

Great team building activity. They have wine and snacks you can buy before starting the painting demo. I like that they have a camera that shows you an overhead view of what the instructor is doing. Very fun! Make sure you arrive early cause it might take you some time to find street parking. The parking a garage was full. read more

We had a birthday event to celebrate so we booked here for a group of 7. Check in was easy and simple. You can purchase drinks and snacks during the course as well! You do not need to know how to paint at all, as the instructors guide you step by step for the entire process! Once you check in everything is ready for you and they provide all supplies and aprons. It was super fun and I would definitely come here again! It lasted about 2 hours! Today we had the classic starry night and I was excited to switch up the colors and the vibes for my painting! Hopefully this was giving Wicked!!! read more

Everything was amazing! Set up was organized. We even added extra colors to our pallet. Service was excellent, from our artist to the bartender. Loved the patience of our instructors as well. We were there to celebrate a birthday and she got a free keepsake painting. Metered (app) parking on the streets or in the parking structure on Delacey. read more

Had such a fun time at this painting class! The instructor was super interactive and gave really clear, step-by-step instructions that made it easy to follow along -- even for beginners. There was also another staff member walking around to offer extra help, give tips, and refill paint without us even having to ask, which made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. Whether you're going on a cute date or planning a creative hangout with friends, this is such a great idea. We left with our own masterpieces and lots of laughs. Definitely recommend! read more

My favorite wine and paint place. I always get felice? It's white wine and it's super sweet. Instructions were clear but still doesn't make sense how the teachers drawing comes out 10000x better than what I always draw even after following step by step. Very fun seeing how my friends paint and it's also a good date spot. They have underground parking at the dayton. read more

This was such an awesome experience with friends and family. The vibe was perfect and the just the right amount of people for a Wednesday night. The owner was really nice and the artist was very clear with instructions. Do not show up late or you will have to catch up on your own. We're definitely coming back it was so much fun! We parked a block away in a public parking lot and payed under $5. read more

They acted very conceited about their business; however, the place was small, cramped and dark. Everything looked dusty or dirty. The music they played, while it was a nice choice of genres, was VERY loud and I could hardly follow along even though I was sitting directly in front of the artist. The helpers were attentive to the needs of the patrons - THAT was this establishment's only saving grace, because the owners treated us like we were beneath them. I won't be back read more

Celebrated a friends birthday here! The owner Freddy is so kind and accommodating! We had so much fun! We will definitely be back for another event! read more

This is a great place to do a team activity or group event. I set one up for my work team and Freddy was really kind and helpful throughout the process. They were very accommodating with my requests such as time and last minute canceled guest. It was so fun and it is great for any beginner. read more

If you're looking for a unique date idea this is definitely the spot for you. The class is super fun and the drinks are actually really affordable. The reason why the class is so fun is because the instructor is personable and really does an amazing job guiding you through the process of how to paint an amazing picture. You really don't think you can do it and by the end of the class you actually have a solid painting done. The drinks are all affordable too and they're pretty good as well. Definitely one of the best date nights we've had! read more

Pinot's Palette - Best double date idea - Paint & Sip Near Me - Pasadena, California

Pinot's Palette is a great studio for your next date idea! I took my gf here for our second paint date. Our first experience at a different studio was decent, but nothing like the instruction and vibes here at Pinot's Palette! Our instructor was clear and detailed, allowing us to follow along with ease. Upon signing up I was a bit skeptical knowing the class would be about two and a half hours, but once I started working I was so into it that by the end I was asking for more time. My gf and I had a great time, and I surprised myself with the end product of my painting. I am by no means a painter so I give credit to the great instruction. Great vibes and art piece to take home and put up on the wall! read more

Pinot's Palette - My gf and I had a great time! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Pasadena, California

This was a pretty fun experience! I'm not much of a painter so my painting came out pretty funny but they really do teach you some good skills and techniques. The bar had a nice setup and pretty reasonable prices, I got a Diet Coke for like $2. Seats were assigned but we were able to sit all together with a group of 6 by registering online and asking them to put us together. Parking is free downstairs in the underground parking using their passcode. Totally would be back again if there is another painting that I like. read more

OMGGG!!!! Def a 10/10 experience The instructor was such a sweetheart and guiding myself and the class reassuring us that it's okay to make mistakes and to just focus on being creative with the brush ahahah And the fact that I could sip on some wine made the experience a lot better and much more fun. Everyone should try this place out. Def recommend! read more

Paint n Sip activity for 21+ folks! Prices range from $29-45 per person for a 2-3 hour session. You can book online and pick from a variety of paintings! The instructor goes step by step and these classes are beginner friendly. They have an open bar to purchase beverages and played great music! This is a fun date idea or group activity (: read more

My school booked a painting session here and it was wonderful. They have 4 hours parking with validation and I really appreciate that because it's so hard to find parking and you really need time to paint. The drinks are for sale but all the painting stuff was included. We painted sea and sand. It was a lovely session. The instructor was patient and experienced. read more

I took my first class at Pinot's Palette with a friend recently and my experience could have been better. Once I arrived I was checked in and after I was checked in and about to put my belongings away, the instructor Mabel stopped me and asked to see my confirmation number that I received when registering for the class. I did not see her stop and ask anyone else for their confirmation number. Then once the class began she came by and helped me touch up my painting. She said that I need to sit back and see the big picture, as she pulled both of my shoulders back and patted both of them really hard as she walked away, which did hurt. Later, I needed some help, so I called her over and when she saw my painting she hit my right shoulder, reprimanded me by saying "No!" "That's not how you do it." As she took my painting brush and touched up my painting. I did not see her touching anyone else and felt uncomfortable. Sometime later while making her rounds she approached me and asked "what happened to the tops of your trees? Did someone chop them off?" I found this offensive because not only was it my first class but I was already trying my best to make my painting look just like hers. I did not see Mabel touching any one else and I did feel like I was being picked on by her for some reason. This was my first class at Pinots Palette, but I'm not planning on returning. I feel like I was being harassed from the moment that I walked in. read more

A friend of mine asked myself and another fried if we wanted to join her at a sip n' paint event. Being that I have ZERO artistic skills I was a bit hesitant to say, "Yes." I can't even draw a stick figure, so how in the heck am I going to paint a picture! Eventually, I convinced myself that it was a good excuse to spend time with my gal pals since I hadn't seen them in a few months, and it was also an opportunity to review something new. Signing up for the class online was easy, and we were able to request to be seated next to each other. I admit, I had some anxiety the day of and secretly prayed it would be paint by number. LOL! We received a warm welcome when we arrived and we were escorted to our seats where there was a blank canvas and a paper plate with the paint colors that we needed to complete our masterpiece. We grabbed an apron and a drink from the bar and got settled in. (Beer, wine, bottled water, and chips are available for purchase.) Hayley, our instructor, was awesome! She had such great energy and enthusiasm. Plus, the music was great too! Following her instructions was easy, and I found painting to be very relaxing. The two hours flew by. Even though my painting didn't quite look the original I was pleased that it didn't look like a blob of colors on a canvas. LOL! My girlfriends are both artistic and theirs came out much better. I would absolutely recommend Pinot's Palette. It's great for date night, spending time with friends, or celebrating a special occasion. Plus, no experience required - just paint, sip, & have fun! *Cubicles to put your belongings in. *Clean restrooms *Free parking in the lot located at 128 Dayton St. read more

I liked everything. Would recommend it as an interesting time spending. They explained everything well so it's pretty easy

The instructor was friendly and nice, which was a plus. However, the music was ridiculously loud--like being in an 80s disco club--and the instructor's microphone was turned up too high as well. There were only about 10 people in the class, so I'm not sure why the background music was necessary at such a high volume. Several couples (or people on dates) were literally yelling to each other just to be heard over the noise, which made the whole atmosphere chaotic and hard to relax in. Another issue was the part where we had to use brushes to splash paint onto the canvas. I wish the setup had kept people farther apart or avoided that technique altogether--especially since the paint doesn't come out of clothing easily. I ended up getting splattered, and it was messy in a way that felt unnecessary. I attended a $29 class (it usually costs $40), but honestly, $25 would feel more fair, especially considering you also at least buy one or two drink. Overall, it was an okay experience thanks to the helpful instructor, but the excessive noise and messy splashing really detracted from what could have been a fun night out. read more

This was a date night idea for my partner and I, and it really exceeded our expectations. Even if you have no painting experience, the instructor gives very clear and easy step by step instructions, so it perfect for everyone! We also learned a few techniques along the way that we will definitely be using for our future visits. A big thank you to Freddie, Nancy, and our instructors for being so kind! read more

This place is amazing I was taken here for my bday and it was such a pleasant surprise! First time ever doing a paint and sip and I will definitely be back. Despite not being good at it, the music, the drinks, the vibe was great! You must make reservations as it's assigned seating. They provide everything you need to get started and if you want another drink, just raise your hand and they come to you and bring you your next drink, so cool! It's about a 2 hour class but it's so much fun! The instructor goes fairly fast so you must do your best to keep up haha but there are assistants walking around that you can ask questions and they'll walk you through it. This definitely won't be the last time I do this, I had such an amazing time! I highly recommend you check this business out! You won't regret it! Enjoy fellow yelpers :) read more

What a fun experience! The host/artist really made the environment eclectic and fun. There was so much energy in the room, we even ran into overtime past the scheduled end time because there was so much going on! There's games and prizes in between and "drying time" between paint jobs. Our host Saturday night was SO FUNNY. It was a great experience. Wine is served at $12/glass and seltzers and ciders are $6-$8 (not included in admission). It can add up so definitely pregame a little with your group and you're in for a great time! read more

FIRST TIMER and I honestly had a blast! You don't need to be an artist and the directions provided are helpful. Plus, they have a bar (you have to pay) to enjoy your painting experience. My fiancé and I enjoyed the painting experience and it was a great date night. Nothing too serious and you can to take home the painting to remember the fun night you had. The overall vibe was also relaxing so it does not feel like your regular art class in school. The only thing that knocked 1 star off was the directions. We had to have the instructor repeat herself a few times and asked her not to go so fast. I believe the owner was there too and had to interrupt her a few times to slow down. And it didn't look like the person who painted the display was the same instructor giving out directions because it didn't look the same. But overall, it was a lot of fun and would recommend it! Parking is a bit of a struggle because street parking was the only thing available. read more

This is the perfect place to unleash your creativity. I really enjoyed the instructor because not only was she talented but she was patient, energetic, and very kind. Even if you aren't the most artistic I would recommend this studio because it's inclusive for all abilities. We were walked through each step very well and it was so fun to because the instructor also encouraged putting your own twist on your painting. They had the bar open and a few limited snacks which was a pleasant touch. I would definitely return for another class. read more

Great instructors and really clean place. They took their time in instructing us. While also having creative freedom.

The class was so fun, and it's not bc I was tipsy!! The teacher was super nice and patient for everyone to finish each step. I like that we all painted the same picture but the creativity made each painting unique. I went on a date here with my bf and very much enjoyed my time. 10/10! Look online ahead of time to choose the cute paintings they have on which date you'd like bc they get taken fast :)) read more

Came here a while back and it was AMAZING. Perfect spot to hang with your artsy friends, for a chill date night, or just to unwind + learn to paint. Arrive a few minutes early and order a drink (or two or three??) to sip as you paint! We ordered rosé and wine (+ found out the owner is the bartender how cool is that?!). You can absolutely show up with NO ART SKILLS or never seen a paint brush before and the artist presenter peoples will patiently guide you with simple baby steps to create a masterpiece. Most of all its a really fun experience because you're gonna be like tipsy + laughing + playing with paint + cracking jokes. You can walk away with some good memories + art piece (made by you!!) to hang up, so worth - TRY IT!! PSA my friend also won this extra painting from the studio by winning this fun mini game they had lol. read more
